Note 310 — Chapter II · THAUMATURGIC PERSONALITIES OF THE EIGHTEENTH CENTURY
Arthur Edward Waite translation
See the Essai sur la Secte des Illuminés, which appeared anonymously in 1789, the author being the Marquis de Luchet. The story here reproduced is given in Note XV to the essay in question. It affirms that the Order of Initiated Knights and Brethren of Asia became the Order of St. Joachim about 1786. There is no mention of Saint-Germain in this Note.
