The de Grainville Manuscripts (1)

Created on: 2025-10-21
The definitive English translation of the unabridged surviving papers of Pierre André de Grainville (1728-1794).

De Grainville was an initiate of the enigmatic Martinez de Pasqually, the founder of the mysterious Élus Coëns. Having progressed through the Order's ranks, de Grainville kept notes of his theurgical operations. Collectively known as 'les manuscrits de Grainville' or 'le manuscript d'Alger, they are held at the Bibliothèque nationale de France (BnF). The folios are not a complete grimoire, but rather a fragmentary snapshot of the original rituals of this mysterious Order in a state of rapid transition..Included are both BnF folios FM4 1282 and FM4 1282A.
