important llluminati mentioned by Robison were given code
names. These code names were based for the most part on
classical Greek and Roman personalities who were known for
their ruthlessness and Cynicism. In Table I is found an
alphabetical listing of the most prominent llluminati, taken from
Robison with their respective occupation or rank indicated.
Weishaupt had the code name of Spartacus; Knigge, Philo;
Count Mirabeau, Cornelius Scipio; Nicholai, 4 Lucian. Lucian
was the great scoffer of religion. Particularistic tasks involving
the undermining of religion were given to Nicholai. The
radicalism of the llluminati was manifested in public and in pri-
vate. Their goal was to abolish Christianity and overturn all
civil government. 5
In 1783, four professors of Marianen Academy were
summoned before a court of inquiry and questioned on their
allegiance to the Order of the llluminati. During these inquiries
it was brought out that the Order abjured Christianity and
refused admission into its higher degrees to all who adhered to
Catholicism's three confessions. According to Robison,
"Sensual pleasures were restored to the rank they held in the
Epicurean philosophy. Self-murder was justified on Stoical
principles. In the Lodges, death was declared an eternal
sleep; patriotism and loyalty were called narrow-minded
prejudices, and incompatible with universal benevolence;
continual declamations were made on liberty and equality as
the unalienable rights of man. The baneful influence of
accumulated property was declared an insurmountable
obstacle to the happiness of any nation whose chief laws were
framed for its protection and increase."
Again, all this is quite in keeping with Weishaupt's own
code name Spartacus, the man who headed the insurrection
of slaves and kept Rome in terror and uproar for three years. 7
