René Guyon: A List of his Publications

The following preliminary and probably incomplete list of Guyon's writings is based on the sketchy information provided by his American translator and literary executor George Russell Weaver (especially in The Open Road, vol XLIII, No 5 - , May-June 1943 and in The International Journal of Sexology, vol III, No 2, November 1949). In several instances, the publisher, place and year of publication could not be ascertained or verified.
