'85, '87 and '90 are the dates of the last edicts, as you know. The Weimar and Gotha lodges – that Bode was in contact with - operated on the same Illuminati plan into the '90s, and the only thing that can be safely said is that reports and protocols between prefects went dead around '87/88. Also, the persecution and subsequent diaspora, more than anything, had the effect of spreading Illuminism further out - Naples, Paris, Copenhagen and Russia are notable in this respect. <br />2) Ickstatt wasn't his grandfather; he was his godfather. <br />3) Weishaupt joined the Lodge Zur Behutsamkeit, not Theodor zum guten Rat. However, both these very active Masonic Lodges in Munich came under the control of the Illuminati. <br />4) The Duchess Dowager Maria Anna was the sister-in-law to Karl Theodor, not his wife. Her sister was Elizabeth Augusta of Sulzbach.<br />5) Weishaupt’s date of death has been known for certain for quite a long time. The ADB - the standard for German bios - in the 1800s - correctly gave the right date as well: Nov. 18, 1830. This 1811 business is an error that Mackey had made, all by himself.Terry Melansonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05783287206546218740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5536871871238508150.post-79702329810621043242009-05-04T03:47:00.000-04:002009-05-04T03:47:00.000-04:00LOL!
