'''Count Franz von Szápáry''' (in Hungarian ''Szápáry Ferenc''; Presburg, 15 January 1804 – after 1875) was a Hungarian aristocrat, magnetizer, and founder of '''Magnetotherapy''' (''Magnetotherapie''). He is a '''fundamental figure for the ISI-CNV school''': his system of codified magnetic passes — the [[Les Douze Passes (la tecnica dei dodici passi di Szápáry)|douze passes]], the [[Les Neuf Passes e i Plexuses Magnetici (Szápáry)|neuf passes]], and the correspondence between the fingers and the five senses — represents one of the most precise 19th-century attempts to transform animal magnetism into a teachable and replicable therapeutic technique.

== Biographical data (documented) ==

According to the ''[https://drive.google.com/file/d/17wV1EbzolvwzoDB07FDu5t73waVM12tn/view Beiträge zum Nekrolog des Grafen Franz Szapary]'' (honorary obituary drawn up in Paris, 20 June 1857, when Szápáry was still alive):

* '''Birth:''' Franz Szápáry was born on 15 January 1804 in Presburg (present-day Bratislava).
* He belonged to the ancient and illustrious Hungarian magnate family of Szápáry. The obituary emphasizes that he was given the name «Franz (the Free)» and was commonly called «der gute Franz» («the good Franz») for his «magnetische Gemüthlichkeit» — the magnetic disposition to self-denial that would inspire his charitable works.
* '''Magnetic training:''' he was encouraged to study magnetism by one of the most renowned physicians in Vienna, Dr. '''Malfatti''', who strengthened his resolve to delve deeper into the subject.
* '''Recognitions:''' in Paris his method was recognized, and he was awarded the medal of honor of the '''Mesmer-Verein''' (Mesmeric Society). As author and founder of Magnetotherapy, he held a place of honor at the great Parisian Mesmeric festivals.

== Connection with the Strict Templar Observance ==

Szápáry fits into the lineage of initiatic currents that run through the [[Portale della Tradizione Ermetica|hermetic tradition]]. The [[Stretta Osservanza Templare|Strict Templar Observance]] — the Templar Masonic system that was one of the main containers of 18th-century magical-hermetic culture, documented in Boella's work — constitutes the historical-initiatic background in which the transmission of magnetic knowledge matured, which Szápáry would systematize in a therapeutic key.

== The work: Magnetotherapy as a science ==

Szápáry did not merely practice magnetism: he codified it. His ambition was to transform magnetic practice — until then entrusted to the intuition of the individual operator — into a doctrinal method with precise rules, often organized in the form of a catechism (question and answer), so that it could be taught.

The core of the system rests on three technical pillars, each treated in its own page:

* '''[[Les Douze Passes (la tecnica dei dodici passi di Szápáry)|The twelve passes (douze passes)]]''' — the opening sequence to rebalance the magnetic force in the patient.
* '''[[Les Neuf Passes e i Plexuses Magnetici (Szápáry)|The nine passes and the magnetic plexuses (neuf passes / plexuses)]]''' — the theory of the nine nerve nodes and their use, with the operations of «intercepting» and «binding» the force.
* '''[[La Corrispondenza delle Dita e i Cinque Sensi (Szápáry)|The correspondence of the fingers and the five senses]]''' — the «closure»/choice of the finger according to the affected sense or organ.

== Main works ==

The ISI-CNV documentary collection preserves several works by Szápáry, in German and French:

* ''Ein Wort über animalischen Magnetismus'' (A word on animal magnetism)
* ''Handbuch der Magnetotherapie'' (Manual of Magnetotherapy)
* ''Die magnetische Lehre der neuen Schule'' (The magnetic doctrine of the new school)
* ''Der kleine magnetische Katechismus'' (The little magnetic catechism) — the catechetical source of the pass techniques
* ''Trophæen des Magnetismus'' (Trophies of magnetism)
* ''Szápáry's Magnetismus von anno 1850''
* ''Magnétisme et magnétothérapie'' (French version, basis of the ISI-CNV operational text)
