Angelo S. Rappoport (1871-1950) was a Russian-born historian, scholar, and prolific author known for his works on European history, folklore, and cultural studies. He wrote extensively on royal history, mysticism, and the occult, often focusing on the lives of historical figures and their influence on society. Some of his notable works include The Love Affairs of the Vatican and Superstitions of Sailors, where he combined meticulous research with a fascination for the hidden aspects of history.
