Rose Line is a fictional name given to the Paris Meridian and to the sunlight line defining the exact time of Easter on the Gnomon of Saint-Sulpice, marked by a brass strip on the floor of the church, where the two are conflated, by Dan Brown in his 2003 novel ''The Da Vinci Code''.〔 Brown based this on material found in the Priory of Sion documents of the 1960s, where neither the Zero Meridian or the sunlight line in St Sulpice are called Rose Line. Philippe de Cherisey in his 1967 novel ''Circuit'' claimed his girlfriend "Roseline" (''Roseline Cartades'', described as "A Machiavellian Virgin") was killed in a car crash and was buried in a beautiful tomb by the Zero Meridian.〔Taking into account what Philippe de Cherisey stated in ''Circuit'' and in ''Pierre et Papier'' (Stone and Paper).〕 The Zero Meridian was not called "Roseline" in ''Circuit'', nor was it called that in the 1967 Priory of Sion document ''Le Serpent Rouge'', that deals with the Zero Meridian being conflated with the sunlight line in St Sulpice. ==Priory of Sion Mythology== The 1967 Priory of Sion document ''Au Pays de la Reine Blanche''〔The document is attributed to ''Nicholas Beaucéan'', which according to the French researcher Franck Marie (''Rennes-le-Château: Etude critique'', SRES, 1978, p. 202.) is a pseudonym for Pierre Plantard, and was produced by Pantard's colleague, Philippe de Cherisey; John Saul, Janice Glaholm, ''Rennes-le-Château, A Bibliography'' (Mercurious Press, 1985, p. 3).〕〔Richard Andrews, Paul Schellenberger, ''The Tomb of God: The Body of Jesus and the Solution to a 2,000-Year-Old Mystery'', Time Warner Paperbacks, 1997, p. 258.〕 states that "Rennes-les-Bains is located precisely on the Zero Meridian, which connects Saint-Sulpice in Paris" adding that "the parish of Rennes-les-Bains guards the heart of Roseline", in this context being a reference to Saint Roseline de Villeneuve. ''Au Pays de la Reine Blanche'' also referred to "the line of the Zero Meridian, that is to say the red line, in English: 'Rose-line'".〔Pierre Jarnac, ''Les Mystères de Rennes le Château: Mélanges Sulfureux'', CERT, 1994, p. 11-15.〕 Later in 1978, Pierre Plantard also referred to the "red line of the meridian, the 'Rose-Line'...since Roseline, the Abbess of the 'Celle aux Arcs', celebrates her feast day on 17 January... and her legend is well worth a read".〔In Plantard's preface to Henri Boudet,''La Vraie Langue Celtique et le Cromleck de Rennes-les-Bains'', Éditions Pierre Belfond, 1978.〕 The document entitled ''Le Serpent Rouge - Notes sur Saint-Germain-des-Près et Saint-Sulpice de Paris''〔Attributed to Pierre Feugère, Louis Saint-Maxent and Gaston de Koker; Pierre Jarnac, ''Les Mystères de Rennes le Château: Mélanges Sulfureux'', CERT, 1994, p. 3-10.〕 conflates the Paris Meridian with a gnomon in the Parisian church of Saint-Sulpice marked in the floor with a brass line, which it calls the "Red Serpent". Philippe de Chérisey in his document ''Stone and Paper'' recounted a story that a Roseline was also the name of his acquaintance: "there was a Roseline I knew who died on 6 August 1967, on the Feast of the Transfiguration, when leaving the zero meridian by car."〔Jean-Luc Chaumeil, ''The Priory of Sion - Shedding Light on the Treasure and Legacy of Rennes-le-Château and the Priory of Sion'' (Avalonia, 2010)〕 Another document by Philippe de Chérisey entitled ''Circuit'',〔''Circuit'', Bibliothèque Nationale, 1971, ''EL 4-Y-413''. There are different versions of Philippe de Chérisey's ''Circuit'' in existence, belonging to private individuals.〕 in Chapter VII, adds the detail that Roseline was killed in a car accident whilst working as a double on the Television film ''La beauté sur la terre'' (1968),〔http://www.ina.fr/video/CPF86615962/la-beaute-sur-la-terre.fr.html〕 a film that also starred Philippe de Chérisey under his stage name of Amédée.〔http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0025523/〕 The story about Roseline in ''Circuit'' also involves an imaginary character named Charlot who appears frequently throughout ''Circuit'' and both characters are patently imaginary beings appearing in one of Philippe de Chérisey's surrealist compositions. Chapter XIII of ''Circuit'' is devoted to the Zero Meridian, with de Chérisey claiming it was established by Till Eulenspiegel (before Jean Picard), listing key sites that it passes through (in a fictional work attributed to Abbé François-Pierre Cauneille). In this chapter Roseline is called 'Fisher Woman', preferring herself to be known as "Di O Nysos, DON" ("dondon" is French slang for "fat woman"), an otherworldly being who organises funerals for the dead who are still living in her new Citroen 2CV (the make of car she was killed in). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Rose Line」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
