WHO WAS THE
COMTE de SAINT-GERMAIN?
G'day folks,
The Comte de Saint-Germain is an
18th-century adventurer whose true identity remains unknown.
While not
the most contemporary figure on the list, Saint-Germain was very
well-known in his day, he was even nicknamed the Wonderman. He knew
nearly all the European languages and had a comprehensive knowledge of
history. Not only that, but he was also a musical composer, a capable
violinist, and his accomplishments as a chemist, on which he based his
reputation, were in many ways considerable.
Considering all this, it's quite strange that Saint Germain’s real name,
parentage, or place of birth are speculative at best. The most common
version is that he was a Portuguese Jewish man. His travels took him
from France to England to Russia and he most likely died in 1784, but
some say people saw him in Paris in 1789.
