Is the A.M.O.R.C. an offspring of the O.T.O. or not ?

Researches by Robert Vanloo and Peter-R. Koenig

After losing a court case against the A.M.O.R.C. (Antiquus Mysticus Ordo Rosae Crucis), Reuben Swinburne Clymer published his tomes "The Rosicrucian Fraternity in America" and "Book of Rosicruciae" from 1935 onwards, in order to prove that Spencer Lewis (founder of the A.M.O.R.C.) had falsified documents in his books, for example the O.T.O. invitation (of Laban de Laban) to a "International Meeting of the Dames de la Rose+Croix" in 1917 or the O.T.O. Constitution of the same year.

Many of the documents in the articles below are from Clymer's books.
