Gabriel André Aucler

Summary

Gabriel André Aucler was a French lawyer who after the French Revolution adopted the name Quintus Nautius and tried to reestablish pagan religiosity with himself as its leader. He created religious clothing for himself and conducted pagan rites at his house. He published a book in 1799, La Thréicie, which presents his religious views. His teachings became the subject of an essay by Gérard de Nerval, included in Les Illuminés in 1852.
