Count Saint-Germain (1696? -1784) Was a famous alchemist and adventurer.This man is not without reason is considered the most mysterious figure of the XVIII century.Count appeared on the stage of public life in the 1740s, first in Italy, then in Holland and England.Everywhere he pretended to be a great magician, the holder of the secret philosopher's stone and the elixir of immortality.
He did not hide his name - borrowed, but did not tell about themselves, only he hinted that there almost from the foundation of the world.It is sometimes said that the son and heir of the Moorish king, who reigned in Spain, in Granada, in the times of Arab rule.But at the same time, Saint-Germain alluded to his familiarity with Moses and Abraham, therefore, he had several times in life reborn.In such a rebirth in the XVIII century, many believed.
From 1737 to 1742 he stayed in the Persian mystic at the court of Nadir Shah, famous for its aggressive policy.Perhaps there he learned a lot about diamonds and other precious stones, for, in his own words, it was in Persia, he began to comprehend the mysteries of Nature.Then Saint-Germain traveled to England, Vienna, India, France.
contemporaries constantly mentioned his ability with the help of an unknown miraculous power to correct the flaws and defects of all kinds of precious stones.Rumors began to ascribe Saint Germain ability to produce gems, and it was considered a major source of its wealth.He himself claimed that only can "cure" the stones - to deduce from them stains and cracks, and that this complex art taught him in India.
In 1760, St. Germain tried to sell the diamond giant in The Hague, if owned by King Louis, and on his personal behalf.Meanwhile, the king of the orders he was given, and the diamond, as it turned out, was a forgery.Probably in Paris we learned of this and demanded the release of Saint Germain.Adventurer managed to escape.
In 1762 he traveled to Russia, where he became a close friend of Count Orlov, and, apparently, took part in the events in the reign of Catherine II, that is, in a coup.
Much of the behavior of Saint-Germain is clear, if we agree with the opinion that he was a member of the so-called "Brotherhood of the Rosicrucians gold" and is the highest Masonic degrees of initiation.Belonging to the Freemasons is easily explained and striking awareness of the political situation in Europe, which Saint-Germain often took the form of always come true "prophecy."
said Saint Germain brewed elixir of youth and outsmart death.Before his death, he said he did not die, but will only a vacation in the Himalayas and then again amaze the world with his appearance.Rumor has it that a year after his death, Saint-Germain was present at the secret meeting of the Freemasons.Three years with him face to face envoy in Venice Count Chalons, and much later, in 1814, an elderly aristocrat Madame Genlis suddenly met him in Paris.In 1912, someone recognized him in St. Petersburg, in 1934, he again visited Paris, there was seen in 1939.As always, he was rich and elegant.
