accumulated on it! And that finally, by him, ways are led to the advent of glorious Christ, in
the nimbus major of which will disappear - its work being accomplished - the precursor of
times to come, the human expression of the saint Paraclet, the daïmon of science and
freedom, wisdom and justice integrals: Elie Artist! " (7). In addition, if we want to look
towards the priesthood of Melkisédèk, whose sacrifice is the prefiguration of Eucharistie, we
have us to remember that the priests " according to the command of Melkisédèk " not
constitute a social command, but a priesthood whose sacrament, represented by the bread
and the wine, is the sacrifice of oneself with next, for the love of Jesus-Christ and by the
union with Him. With our opinion, Elias Artista is an adaptation of biblical Elie, which must
return at the end of times, with Hénoch, to fill their role of witnesses in the binary universal
one. He would be premature of saying which was Elias Artista, or who he will be. All that it
is useful to know, it is that this name indicates a form of the Spirit of intelligence. It is what
heard the Rosicrucian brotherhood when they said that at the day C they will meet in a
place which is called the Temple of the Holy Spirit. But where is this place? Themselves do
not know it, because, say, it is invisible (8). We will allow ourselves to indicate to our
readers, if they want to push more à.fond the study of this mysterious type, to contemplate
the history of Hénoch, father symbolic system of the Rosicrucian brotherhood, inventor of
the tradition and science, and to scan the monuments whose legend allots paternity to him.

CHAPTER III PRECURSORS
The always inconditionnée intervention of the Absolute is not achieved on the human level
without a preparation. The prophets of Israel and the Precursor prepared the path with the
Son of God. In the same way beings, events opened the way with this demonstration of
God who was the Rosicrucian brotherhood. The Middle Ages, of XIIIe in XIVe century, its
spirit, its aspirations, its destiny, undoubtedly unknowable but full with hope, its heart are
expressed in the work of Dante. A form of civilization had disappeared; another left the
night, that orthodoxe Christianity, like Christianity heretic, marked of its print. Dante gave a
form to all these dreams. The work of Dante gave place to innumerable comments, to
remain within the limits of our study, we will announce that E. Aroux (1) arises the question:
Was Dante catholic or Albigensian? He underlines the reports/ratios that Dante had with
gnostic sects of Albigensian, adversaries of papacy and Church of Rome; and he recalls
that the eighth sky of the paradise, the starry sky, is the sky of the Rosicrucian brotherhood,
that perfect the vêtus of white professes " the evangelic doctrines there ", that of Luther,
opposed to the Roman catholic doctrines. Eliphas Lévi (9) declares: " the work of large
Gibelin is a declaration of war to papacy by the bold revelation of the mysteries; épopée
of Dante is joannite and gnostic - and the hero of the Divine Comedy escapes the Hell by
taking the opposite course to the dogma ". - In reality, Dante never " revealed " of
mysteries or, if it did it, it is in a form so buckled that only those which knew these mysteries
could include/understand. In the same way it never took " the opposite course to the dogma
"; it never ceased being catholic, with the traditional direction of this word. If it showed
adversary of papacy, it is only on the political ground and because it reproached the
successors of Pierre saint for too frequently resorting to the temporal means - what is a
consideration of an external nature. The desire, that Dante expressed sometimes with
violence, to see maintained between the temporal power and the spiritual power of the
reports/ratios conditioned by those their respective fields, is a proof of the orthodoxy of its
Catholicism. Dante was one of the heads of Fede Santa, third command of filiation
