Only partial translations or excerpts exist. This is the first complete English translation.
Extensive searches of library catalogs and academic databases yielded no evidence of a complete English translation of Joséphin Péladan's 'Salon de la Rose + Croix. Règles et monitoires' (1891). The only English-language material found was a 1893 article in 'The Art Critic' containing a translation of the 'Preface to the Catalogue of the Salon de la Rose + Croix, 1892', which constitutes only a partial translation/excerpt rather than a complete translation of the 1891 work.

Joséphin Péladan demands an end to realism and the return of art to the altar of the divine. This text serves as the militant manifesto for an aesthetic order that treats every brushstroke as a holy, anti-modern act.
