Re: VMs: Olomouc and Barcius

[jean-yves artero <jyartero@xxxxxxxx>]

Hello Rene,

 

You understood I am dubious there.

 

We are looking for an alchemist, who could have been possessing

VMS.

 

Perhaps he is Barschius, or Baresch. If he is Barschius, I still think that

"my" Barcius is a serious candidate.

 

If he has to be Baresch too, which is IMO a working hypothesis, then there

could be two possibilities:

- either this Barcius is not the right person,

- or he is Barcius and Baresch.

 

We are here dealing with an alchemist; some of them used several "pseudonyms";

other ones are hard to identify, one of the last examples being the French

alchemist Fulcanelli, with no proven identity...in the XXth century. 

 

One reason more to remain cautious, and moreover remains the Barcius/

Barschius similarity.

 

Please again note: I am just telling here about a theoretical possibility,

and calling for more evidence of whatever opinion.

 

What are the evidences that Baresch - I insist, Baresch - is the right man?

 

Cheers,

 

Jean
