Rosicrucian, a member of a supposed society or order, ‘the brethren of the Rosy Cross’, reputedly founded by one Christian Rosenkreuz in 1484, but first mentioned in 1614. Its manifestos were the
Fama Fraternitatis (1614) and the
Confessio Fraternitatis (1615), which aroused intense interest on the Continent and in Britain. Its members were said to claim various forms of secret and magic knowledge, such as the transmutation of metals, the prolongation of life, and power over the elements and elemental spirits, and to derive much of their alchemy and mystical preoccupations from
Paracelsus. The Rosicrucian movement seems to have been rooted in some kind of anti-Jesuit Protestant alliance, with deep religious interests, as well as interests in alchemy, medicine, and the Cabbala. F.
Yates, in her study
The Rosicrucian Enlightenment (1972), names as major figures in the English Rosicrucian movement
Dee,
Fludd, and
Ashmole; she also discusses the Rosicrucian connections of F.
Bacon,
Comenius, I.
Newton,
Leibniz, and many others.
