Beskrivelse

Cagliostro: Maligned Freemason and Rosicrucian is a book written by W.R.H. Trowbridge that explores the life and legacy of Count Alessandro di Cagliostro, a controversial figure in the world of Freemasonry and the occult. The book delves into Cagliostro's early life, his rise to fame as a healer and alchemist, and his eventual downfall due to accusations of fraud and heresy. Trowbridge argues that Cagliostro was a victim of political and religious persecution, and that his contributions to the fields of Freemasonry and Rosicrucianism have been unfairly maligned by history. The book includes extensive research and analysis of primary sources, as well as biographical information about Cagliostro's contemporaries and the cultural context in which he lived. Overall, Cagliostro: Maligned Freemason and Rosicrucian offers a fascinating and thought-provoking look at a complex and enigmatic historical figure.The true role of this splendid, tragic figure. Cagliostro, was a Mystic, Mason and adept at magic, alchemy, and psychic healing. He died at the hands of the Holy Roman Inquisition. Although much has been written against Cagliostro, Trowbridge, through his meticulous researching, comes up with an all together different picture. ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿The object of this book is not so much an attempt to vindicate Cagliostro as to correct and revise, if possible, what I believe to be a false judgment of history.¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ Contents: The Power of Prejudice; Giuseppe Balsamo; Cagliostro in London; Eighteenth Century Occultism; Masked and Unmasked; The Conquest of the Cardinal; Cagliostro in Paris; The Diamond Necklace Affair; Cagliostro Returns to London; ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿Nature's Unfortunate Child.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
