Memoirs Illustrating The History Of Jacobinism #3
Code of The Illuminati: Illumiinati
This is the third part (of four) of Abbé Barreul's massive polemic history of the French Revolution. This portion of this book is of interest because it contains extensive quotes from the actual literature of the Bavarian Illuminati. This is the most comprehensive work in English on the historical theory, structure and practice of the Bavarian Illuminati. It complements Robison's Proofs of a Conspiracy, the other major contemporary account.
Founded in 1776, shortly before the American Revolution, the Bavarian Illuminati were a secret society with a revolutionary ideology, and a centralized structure. According to Abbé Barreul, they subverted the Masonic lodges of Europe, and were one of the key driving forces behind the French Revolution. New members were gradually initiated into
the group's radical ideas, which, according to Barreul, were atheist and anarchist in essence.

Un interessante documento storico sulle società segrete affini alla Massoneria, e sull'illuminismo.
Il testo risente molto dela posizione del suo autore, lealista convinto, posizione che però non gli impedisce di presentare con ampiezza di documentazione le idee della setta che tenta di controbattere.

Like all conspiracy theories, the Code of the Illuminati requires the author to portray it in the worst possible light. The Illuminati were small time masons with grand ideas way beyond their scope. Weishaupt and Knigge were bonkers, but in attempting to portray them as the epitome of evil, Barruel shows himself to be a nasty, arrogant, malicious hypocrite.
