La Très Sainte Trinosophie, The Most Holy Trinosophia, or The Most Holy Threefold Wisdom, is a French esoteric book, allegedly authored by Alessandro Cagliostro or the Count of St. Germain.[1] Due to the dearth of evidence of authorship, however, there is significant doubt surrounding the subject.[2] Dated to the late 18th century, the 96-page book is divided into twelve sections representing the twelve zodiacal signs.[3] The veiled content is said to refer to an allegorical initiation, detailing many kabbalistic, alchemical and masonic mysteries.Script error: No such module "Unsubst". The original MS 2400 at the Library of Troyes is richly illustrated with numerous symbolical plates.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
Contents
In a self-published 1933 translation featuring parallel French and English texts, Manly P. Hall wrote:
Manly Palmer Hall then cites Dr. Edward C. Getsinger, "an eminent authority on ancient alphabets and languages," in emphasizing that La Très Sainte Trinosophie is couched in secret codes intended to conceal its contents from the profane.

Authorship controversy
Some controversy persists over the authorship of the work. Ascribing authorship to the Count of St. Germain rests on a "bookseller's note" pasted to the front of the MS in Troyes, as well as Manly Palmer Hall's own statements, which have been described as partisan. Indeed, Mr. Hall states that the MS was very much in the possession of Cagliostro, who is alleged to be one potential author of the manuscript, but that "the Inquisition had seized it" when Cagliostro was arrested in Rome in 1789.[4]
