Abstract
Both a disciple of Doctor Deslon and close to Lyon’s illuminist circles, the chevalier de Barberin implements somnambulist cures that are not limited to only a therapeutic usage. Through the words of his female patients, he tries to unveil the mysteries of cosmic harmony, by remaining attentive to speeches that are deemed prophetic or divine. However, his treatment’s turbulent process presents a warped picture of an harmony that seems to slip away at every step. At the heart of what they consider a true vocation, he and his close associates try to find a more theosophical than scientific path towards reconciling man, as a patient and a sinner, with the divine.
