illuminati

according to the most quoted letters of the Illuminati, found in the apartment of
Xavier Zwack, the five members of the Aeropagite Council at that time were as
follows:
Quote:
spartacus: Adam Weishaupt
cato: xavier zwack
minos: Grünberger (??)
sebastion: Cosandey (??)
philo: Baron Von Knigge
The reason to consider these five the Aeropagite (top) Council in the Bavarian
Illuminati at that time are that Zwack had direct contact with Weishaupt, as well as
direct contact with Knigge. Knigge had direct contact with Grunberger and
Cosandey, who were also professors at the same university as Knigge.
Now, the Aeropagite Council having consisted of five members at the time of its
discovery does not necessarily justify the myth that the Order had the same five
members, or even any other members than Weishaupt, when it was officially
"founded" in 1776.
