== Rosicrucianism ==
According to de Plancy, the general lack of information on him and his works advocating the presence of secret societies has led to him being considered the founder of the Order of the Rosy Cross, and if not the founder then at least a person who caused a major reorganisation of the Order. 
== Legends ==
De Plancy claims that he was revered amongst Freemasons. 
He is said to have gone on marvellous journeys, led a mysterious existence, and performed acts of conjuring similar to those of Cagliostro.
