Ordre de l'Etoile d'Orient, Bulletin de l'.
1913--1927 Quarterly
Paris, France. Language: French. Publisher: Bibliotheque de l'Ordre. Editor: Lucie Bayer, Isabelle Mallet, Gaston Revel. Succeeded by: Bulletin Internationale de l'Etoile; Cahiers de l'Etoile
1/1, January, 1913-13/4, October 1927. 40-42 pp., 2.50-12 francs a year. This was the French edition of the journals issued worldwide under various "star" names to promote the Order of the Star and the coming of the "World Teacher," Jiddu Krishnamurti. It largely copied material from the Herald of the Star (London), with notable contributions by C.W. Leadbeater. It was suspended during the War and resumed, with vol. 1, no. 2, January 1917, and for a time functioned as a Francophone journal for members of the Order in Belgium, Switzerland and France . A quarterly journal of the same name was also published in Geneva, Switzerland. Lucie Bayer, the first editor of the journal, 1913-1914, had the distinction of being involved with Alberto de Sarak, Comte de Das, before attaching herself to Krishnamurti. The final issue of the journal, no. 4, October, 1927, noted very briefly the "souvenir ineffaçable" of Krishnamurti's announcement in Holland in August, describing it as "a teaching of moral and mental emancipation, of spiritual liberation in the grandeur and simplicity of soul, a simplicity so high and so vertiginous that it causes one to thing of the snowy altitudes over which reigns only light." The journal went on without a pause to say that Krishnaji had "undoubtedly" intended to start a grand project, and that project was to convert the international Herald of the Star into simply The Star, which was to publish Krishnamurti's articles and which would appear in France as the bi-monthly Cahiers de l'Etoile with a small Bulletin as its accompaniment to replace the existing Ananda.
