Pasqually's 'Treatise on the Reintegration of Beings' is the seminal writing to understand the theory behind this extraordinary man's Masonic Order, the Élus Coëns.

While the original document was secretly passed between the Réaux-Croix, or members of the highest Grade of this Order, to be copied by hand and returned to the author or his secretary (variously Abbé Pierre Fournié and Louis-Claude de Saint-Martin), it eventually made its way into the public domain a century after the author's death, published in France by René Philippon. Since then, several new copies of the Treatise have been discovered in private collections and languishing in long-forgotten library archives, all slightly different because of the author's changes, or the inevitable errors made or embellishments added by the copiers.

In this translation, we now see the debt the Treatise owes to Masonic symbolism, its role as a source for Martinism and the Rectified Scottish Rite, with its references to the Path of Reintegration and appeals to the "Man of Desire". It also allows for the clearest explanation of the Universal Table (included in the book) seen to date. M.R. Osborne's Introduction is masterful and provides an excellent historical explanation and scene-setting for the Treatise, and even lifts a corner of the veil into the translators' personal beliefs. The book follows the original layout (which had no chapters or breaks) but helps us along with images of biblical scenes artfully used to break the text up into logical sections.
