Ross, I've trouble to understand the context of the "3 filles" and the 85-years-old Lady. in the German burial article. Nothing to do with Gébelin, though. I think triplets was remarkable news. Marguerite Nivot, femme de Simon Girard, Bucheron, de la paroisse de Loques en Brie, diocese de...

I found a French-language article in a German magazine ["Le nouvelliste politique d'Allemagne", produced in Cologne 1780-1787 ] of July 1784 with a description of the burial of Court de Gebelin. The edition had 4 not very large pages, and the article had the most prominent first place at ...

Yes, that's what I was quoting from; I had given his summary of the "Nel cor" passage earlier. I wish there were more. Ah, right. Following with one eye, sorry - bathroom renovations with the other. The whole poem is here - https://books.google.fr/books?id=mbJaAAAAcAAJ&pg=PA160&lp...

Interesting. The Cary Sheet is a bishop; we can't see what the Popess is wearing on her head, a regular miter or the triple tiara: http://www.rosscaldwell.com/images/popess/carypopepopess.jpg For a similar thought to yours, David Vine's translation of Gébelin ( Vintage Tarot Texts 1: Antoine Court d...

Thank you, Gregory, for informing us of Rosanne's death two years ago. Indeed have wondered over the years where she went.
