Hargrave Jennings

He is the single most-often quoted source in Art Magic. But he is not named, and nearly every quotation from his The Rosicrucians is mis-quoted in some fashion...and in many instances the sense of the passages are changed, slightly or otherwise. The misquotations could imply intent. Or they could suggest the transcription of material, from notes, by an editor who did not have the text to hand -- or perhaps could not even recognize the source.
