Tiphaigne de la Roche (1722-74) was a French physician and author. He was born in Montebourg in the Cotentin Peninsula of Normandy in north-west France, studied medicine at the University of Caen and began practicising as a physician in 1744. His novels, written for the most part anonymously, take place in the wake of two of the 18th centurys great philosophical movements of Rationalism and Illuminism, and often combine scientific considerations with cabalistic, magical and alchemical ones. He is noted for anticipating many social and scientific inventions including photography, synthetic food and television. This work was first published in 1760 and the title in the original French, Giphantie, is an anagram of the authors given name. Reprinted from the English translation of 1761.
