Count of St Germain - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (992 words)
The Count of St. Germain († February 27, 1784) was a courtier, adventurer, inventor, amateur scientist, violinist, amateur composer, and generally mysterious gentleman; he also had at least pretensions of alchemy.
Some of the more plausible include the possibility that he was the son of Francis II Rákóczi, the Prince of Transylvania (who was in exile), or that he was the illegitimate son of Marie-Ann de Neubourg, the widow of Charles II of Spain.
While he may have studied in Italy at Siena University, possibly as a protégé of Grand Duke Gian Gastone (the last of the Medici line), St. Germain's first chronicled appearances were in London in 1743 and in Edinburgh in 1745, where he was apparently arrested for spying.
"Count St. Germain" by H.P. Blavatsky @BlavatskyNet (1794 words)
This famous adventurer [the Count St. Germain] is supposed to have been a Hungarian by birth, but the early part of his life was by himself carefully wrapped in mystery.
St. Germain is surrounded by a legion of bottles, and is occupied in developing the manufacture of hats upon chemical principles.
Not being allowed to act as physician, St. Germain determines to show his power as an alchemist, takes a twelve-sous piece from the other augur, puts it on red-hot charcoal, and works with a blow-pipe, the piece of money is fused and allowed to cool.
