Le Vice suprème (English: supreme vice) (1884) is a French novel by Joséphin Péladan that is interwoven with Rosicrucian and occult themes. After reading Péladan's novel, the French poet Stanislas de Guaita became interested in occultism. In Paris, De Guaita and Péladan became acquainted, and in 1884, the two decided to try to rebuild the Rosicrucian Brotherhood. The novel has been illustrated by Félicien Rops.
