No, not a whole page, just a short description in the list of Golden-style cabals. Obviously SM wouldn't have a link.

Well, Toaru never tried to be 100% historically correct so there could be differences. After all, the series is set on a world distorted by Phases so there is also the possibility they are the cause of some events being different from reality. And the only "discrepancy" was the statement in OT 2 about SM forming the model for modern Western magic when Golden Dawn should have been the one. If it wasn't for that, recognizing SM and Golden cabal as two different organizatioin would have been much easier. And here is my thoughts: what if 黄金夜明 (S∴M∴)  could be read both as Stella Matutina and Golden Dawn? Mabye in vol 1 and 4, where it was referenced as a still active cabal, it was SM and in vol 2 it was Golden Dawn, which would fit the next descriptions of the Golden Cabal. I know it sounds strange but with Kamachi you never really know.
