Adam Weishaupt was born February 6, 1748 at Ingolstadt and educated by the Jesuits. His appointment as Professor of Natural and Canon Law at the University of Ingolstadt in 1775, a position previously held by an ecclesiastic, gave great offense to the clergy of the day. "Weishaupt, whose views were cosmopolitan, and who knew and condemned the bigotry and Superstitions of the Priests, established an opposing party in the University.... This was the Beginning of the Order of Illuminati or the Enlightened...."1 Weishaupt was not then a freemason; he was Initiated into Lodge Theodore of Good Council (Theodor zum guten Rath), at Munich in 1777.Free eBooks (Can Be Downloaded):
