 Founded by Savalette de Langes, general guard of the Royal Treasure, the Respectable Loge des Amis Réunis called "Collège des Philalèthes" had as a goal to constitute a collection of archives and a library to synthesize all the masonic science. This works gave an extraordinary collection of works in which were all the classics of Alchemy and magic treaties and theosophy.
The curiosity of the philalèthes was boundless, and some practices they noted were extravagant. It was the case of the Kabbalist Duchanteau and of his "urinary" conception of alchemical processes or the one of Schroeffer, very active in all types of phantasmagorical operations...
In their will to constitute an encyclopedia of the initiation, the Philalètes were interested, of course, by the élus cohens. There were three copies of the manuscript of Martinès de Pasqually "Le Traité de la Réintégration des Etres". One of them, written by Louis-Claude de Saint Martin would date from the end of the 1770's. At the sight of the corrections Saint-Martin did on the first version of the text, this manuscript would seem to be a draft of work, which would give a new understanding on the genesis of the "traité de la réintégration".
To whom do we owe the paternity of the other manuscripts ?
Elements of answer by Pierre Mollier, director of the archives of the Grand Orient of France, and Alain Marchiset, expert bookseller in Paris, in this public conference which lasts 45 minutes during the Debate of the tercentenary of Martinès de Pasqually organized by the Institut Eléazar and the review Renaissance Traditionnelle.
