History Of The Rose-Croix Sedir - Ordo Svmmvm Bonvm

Amphitheatrum sapientiae aeternae (13) where Khunrath, into 1598, drew a Christ, the
arms in cross, in a pink of light and a figure of the Pronostication of Paracelse (1536) on the
other hand, to affirm that " the Rosicrucian brotherhood, whose emblèmesconstitutifs defer
us to the poems of Dante and Guillaume de Lorris, functioned very a long time in the shade
before appearing by works of full day " (7). Let us say only that on an external similarity
one can base neither an identity nor a chronology. In any case, the only thing that we know
of unquestionable certainty, it is that the manifestation of the Rosicrucian brotherhood was
public only during the appearance of Fama, i.e. in 1614. It is necessary to mention here a
declaration of Henri Neuhaus. This doctor of Dantzig published into 1618 an often translated
opuscule (14) where it affirms the existence of the Company of the Rosicrucian
brotherhood and the goal which it wants to reach. He declares there that at the time of the
Thirty year old war the Rosicrucian brotherhood left Europe and withdrew themselves in
India. No writer rosicrucian gives this information. Nearly one century later, Sincerus Renatus
reproduces it. Let us stress that the booklet of Neuhaus is written on a tone airspeed
indicator; its French translation was often joined together with makes out of Gabriel Naudé
about which we will speak further. The writers rosicrucians sought several times to refute
these two authors (15). And the P. Jacques Gaultier, of the Company of Jesus, the large
adversary of Fraternity, said book of Neuhaus " whom one did not know if it were for or
counters the Rosicrucian brotherhood ". (1) E AROUX: The Comedy of Dante, to translate

Aroux is also the author of a book entitled: Heretic, revolutionary and socialist Dante. (2) It is
to be noticed that Dante takes as guides in the highest circles of the holy Paradise Bernard,
which wrote the rule of the Command of the Temple. (3) the author adds in note: " It acted,
in the Third Command, to constitute an immense army which had in heart to make reign

CHAPTER IV SYMBOLISM OF THE ROSICRUCIAN RULES OF THE COMMAND
One proposed several assumptions to explain the title of Rosicrucian brotherhood.
According to the first, this name would come from the legendary founder of Fraternity,
Christian Rosencreutz. We will examine it hereafter. The second assumption makes come
the word from Latin Ros, dew and Crux, cross. It is due to Mosheim, as teaches it to us
Waite (1), and one finds it in the Encyclopaedia of Ree and in other publications " Among all
the bodies of nature, the dew was that which had the greatest capacity dissolving on gold;
the cross, in alchemical language, represented the light, Lux, because all the letters of this
word can be found in the figure of a cross. However the light is called the seed or the
menstrue red dragon, coarse and material light which, digested and transformed, produces
gold. If all this is admitted, a philosopher rosicrucian will be that which seeks, by the means
of the dew, the light or philosopher's stone " (16) We will not stop with this second
explanation. We already underlined the secondary character that the Rosicrucian
brotherhood allotted to alchemy. They would not have chosen an alchemical image to make
the symbol of their Fraternity of it. The third assumption explains this denomination by the
pink and the cross. It is it which conquered the most partisans and who provides the
greatest quota of symbolic systems explanations. " the pink, known as Eliphas Lévi, in a
