Part II
Count Dionisios Romas (1771-1857, previously mentioned herein as applying, 1825, for modern Greece's british protection) was certainly "constrained diplomaticaly" 1815, his above testimony was biased and a cover for his mercer friends, the Zante Cochins, as well as his then "bros" and later relatives (see below), the Balsami.
While avoiding to link this "other lodge" to the egyptian rite, (also ommiting Cagliostro-Balsamo) and while purposely mislabeling it "Filanthropia" (grk for "Benefizensa"), he plays it safe fingerpointing at "Cassini who died 1784" as the venerable master (Cesar Francois Cassini de Thury, 1714-1784) of this very same lodge he was himself a member till then and, propably, later on as well .
This "old lodge" operated not just till 1815 (Rizopoulos-"-see http://www.zante-freemasons.gr/gr_te...s_ionia.php#up) but, going propably underground, went on till much later (as 1824-5 Missolonghi "Ananiah" tower indicates and as Edgar Poe testifies herein) thus even if the royal astronomer was or was not their master till 1784, the questions....
Who Ananiah the founder was?
How and when was the rite transferred "West", reaching America pre 1770?
Who authorised and monitored Giuseppe Balsamo post 1784?
....have yet to be answered!
Romas provides no explanation re Cassini's relation to Zante and there is practicaly (excepting the mathematicien Cagnoli, born Zante 1743) no such relative record online, no other BUT the Zante Cochins and the Hydra Caussins of "Poe Announcement".
They, as Russia's 1797-1807 consuls, were well aquainted with count Romas and his son,
Giorgio Candiano Romas (1798-1867),who married, around 1825-6, Orsola , sister of Anna di Giorgio Balsamo (wife, as from about 1826, of Dimitrio-Giacomo Cochini or Jaques Denis Cochin, previously mentioned as Dionisios Solomos's 1828 witness!)
(see http://www.adb.online.anu.edu.au/biogs/AS10053b.htm and http://www.kythera-family.net/index....lip=4&hits=20),
Romas's "Cassini" of 1815, was therefore a safe proposition, a cover up and, at the same time, a tactfull reminder to the british protectors of his 1815 Phenice Risorta (in which Giorgio Balsamo was a "rhetor) of their older 1797 contacts with la Marquise de Cassini (born Babaud), mistress of the Prince of Conti AND MAINLY their later encounters with the US Cassin sailors, lasting till 1812.
(For mme la marquise see http://www.catnaps.org/cassini/babaud.html#mdc
and http://italiangenealogy.tardio.com/F.../start=15.html)
With "Anastasy" de Perceval still "missing in action", 1815 was indeed a bad year for the truth but when things changed for the better later on in Zante....
The Cochini Zante blazon, today displayed center (in a series of other blazons) at the Dion.Salomon Museum, depicts a single snake, its body wound around a blooming Asclepius staff (a tree) its head turned towards the tree blossom: No, it's not the sign of a "blossoming" period of a doctor's history but the biblical serpent -tree of gnosis-apple combination:
This statement must now to be slighlty modified, if the existing fourty or so year vacuum(1744-84) of the masonic history of bro Andrea Rizopoulos is to be filled:
As "first italian mason on record" and father of count Saint Germain, doctor Antonio Cocchi with his Epistola ad Morgagnum de Lente Cristallina oculi IS THE definition of 19th century Ananiah "le sage": His biblical predecessor cured Saul of his blindness to then "transmit the ancient light to the nations", thus Mark Bedaridde's 1845 "mystic" testimony turns out "true" nevertheless!
Following doctor Cocchi's death, late 1750ties, and taking into consideration duties and character of son(?) Gioachino, it is highly doubtfull that he became the next venerable master of the egyptian rite, the Montdidier orientalists having already been described herein as the next propable masters (count Romas, granting them protection in 1815, provides another indication to this direction) whereas not a shred of evidence was found linking Gioachino Cocchi-"Saint Germain" to Cagliostro- Balsamo or to british secret services:
His flight from France, 1784, may well be attributed to dissapointment, danger for his life, old age and wider family interests and conflicts combined, his association with the Mizraim Rite yet unproven, his true family links and ties to the Montdidier and Marseille Caussins and the Paris-Zante Cochins , unclear (as also their relation to the Cassini-Cassins).
To conclude with "modern litterature":
To counter Edgar Allen Poe's relevant works, Alexandre Dumas, 1848, associated Edmond Dantes with comte Saint Germain AND/OR Cagliostro (as per Mme Montego' s testimony! She was the only one who could identify Dantes) and managed, by his all time bestseller, to further confuse the issue, covering up and justifying "mercers" and "orientalists" who returned to Paris from their little treasure islands, Zante and Hydra, as "philanthropists" and "liberal" or "recollet" "catholics-royalists" just like- and simultaneously with- "count Monte Christo".
