P. Sédir: History & Doctrines of the Rose-Croix
In 1614, an anonymous booklet appeared in Kassel, entitled Fama Fraternitatis Roseae Crucis, which told the life of Christian Rosenkreuz: after 120 years from his death his body would still be found intact, surrounded by symbols and initiatory signs. The booklet may have been circulating as a manuscript as early as 1610. But probably the origins of the Christian esoteric order are earlier. Sedir says for certain that this fraternity had existed, albeit unknown, since the Christian era. According to him, the Gnostics, the doctors of the Catholic Church, the alchemists, the Spanish Kabbalists and the Arab current of thought are nothing but multifaceted aspects of a knowledge of which the Rose Cross represents the synthesis.
