M.R. Osborne is the author of ten published works. He studied Theology at the University of Birmingham and is an Attorney at Law, specialising in private equity. He is a member of the European Society for the Study of Western Esotericism (ESSWE) and has published academic papers on legal and esoteric subjects. His focus is on Rosicrucianism, early masonic organisation and occult symbolism. In 2018 he won the Societas Rosicruciana in Anglia Order of the Companion of Christian Rosenkreutz prize for a series of papers on the 'Lessons of Lyons'. He is also a contributor to the society's digital magazine, 'Flores et Taciturnas'. The author first encountered Martinism and Rosicrucianism on a personal journey of Christian spirituality, discovering in them a fascinating philosophy of early science almost wholly unknown to mainstream thinking. Piers Vaughan was born in Brighton, England, and following sojourns in Germany and Switzerland, lives just outside New York City. He was educated at Brighton College, Oxford and Cranfield Universities, and holds M.A.s in Psychology and Divinity, and an M.B.A. He worked in banking for most of his life, as a Project Manager and Internal Consultant in IT and Operations, later acting as COO of a small training company based in New Jersey. He has been a Freemason most of his life, and is a member of St. John's Lodge No. 1 in New York, which was founded in 1757, and is the guardian of the George Washington Inaugural Bible. He is a 33rd Degree Mason in the Ancient Accepted Scottish Rite, and a Past Grand High Priest of the Grand Chapter State of New York, Royal Arch Masons, which he currently serves as Grand Treasurer. He is also a long-standing member of a number of esoteric Orders, having helped to bring a number of these to the United States from England and France. He is also Primate of the Apostolic Church of the Golden & Rosy Cross, a descendent of the Pre-Nicene Church of Richard, Duc de Palatine. He has a particular interest in the Orders, Rituals and protagonists of 18th Century French Masonic and Esoteric Orders, and has built a reputation translating many source documents into English, and lecturing around the world on these topics.
""I applaud Michael Osborne for bringing us a book which delves into this formerly obscure link between two religious visionaries."" Piers A. Vaughan
