Jacques-Etienne Marconis de Négre known as Gabriel and Jean Etienne Marconis de Nègre; was a French Freemason born in Montauban in 1795 and died in 1865 in the city of Paris.
Founder of one of the Egyptian rites of occult Freemasonry calling it "The Rite of Memphis" or "Rite of Memphis" in 1839 and which maintains the "Templarist tradition." Marconis de Nègre, had received all the degrees of the Old and Accepted Scottish Rite and those of the old rite of perfection, within the lodge "Workshop" to which he belonged and of which he was a member of the primitive rite of Chefdebien since 1759. Marconis de Nègre was separate from the Napoleonic armies, which was introduced to the study of the knowledge of the goddess Isis of which he was obsessed and for which he founded a lodge upon his return from Italy in 1798, which he called "Pilgrims from Memphis.
Nègre, with the agreement of Robert Ambelain, who, as chief of the Memphis-Mizraim rite still does not know what he was talking about), Jacques Etienne Marconis de Nègre and Samuel Honis create the first "Rite of Memphis in 1815" in Montauban, France. But according to more traditional sources, this would lead to the exclusion of his second rite from Mizraim; reason why Jacques Etienne Marconis de Nègre elaborated again in 1838 "The Rite of Memphis" and drawing all the initiations that had received. Gerard Galtier, confirms in one of his writings: "... And later, in 1838, Marconis de Nègre, the venerable member of the Lodge of Mizraim Lyon," benevolence ", who created the" Rite of Memphis "using all the initiations that he himself had managed to capitalize. " Marconis, would present the last number of the rite version until in 1861, in the Golden Branch of Eleusis. Notes and
