of the flower mentioned in the text of Dared is hypothetical and is always translated by<br />
Narcisse or violet. <strong>The</strong> Semitic languages do not have a clean term to indicate the pink: the<br />
flower and its name are everywhere of importation, of Aegean importation to the<br />
statements of the linguists. Latin with rosa, the Greek with rhodon, the copte with ouert,<br />
Arabic with march, the Armenian with vard, etc, separately drew all with a same source and<br />
borrowed the symbolism of the flower to him: the secrecy of the adeptat. Apulée with of<br />
will remember when its hero, Lucius, magiquement transformed into ass, covers the human<br />
form and, simultaneously, reached with initiation to have grazed pinks with the temple of Isis.<br />
Thus, without prejudging their filiation, those which took the name of Rosicrucian brotherhood<br />
to appear in XVIIe century then chose a foreign floral symbol at the bottoms Semitic. (3)<br />

Prince of this world. (5) Day of the Cross (?).<br />
CHAPTER V FUNDAMENTAL DOCUMENTS<br />
<strong>The</strong> demonstration rosicrucian was made in particular by small lampoons, generally<br />
anonymous, distributed to the fairs of Leipzig and Frankfurt, true World Fairs this time, by<br />
posters, about which we will speak further, and in the following writings that we propose to<br />
analyze: <strong>The</strong> Reformation, Confessio, for which it is advisable to add the chemical<br />
Weddings of Christian <strong>Rose</strong>ncreutz. In 1614 appeared in Cassel, with the printing works of<br />
Wilhelm Wessel, an anonymous writing of 147 pages in-8° heading: General Allgemeine<br />
and Reformation, DER gantzen weiten Welt.Beneben der Fama Fraternitatis, Dess<br />
Löblichen Ordens of <strong>Rose</strong>nkreutzes, year alle Gelehrte und Häupter Europea geschrieben:<br />
Auch einer kurtzen Responsion, von dem Herrn Haselmeyer gestellet, welcher desswegen<br />
von den Jesuitern STI gefänglich eingezogen, and auff eine Galleren geschmiedet: Itzo<br />
öffentlich in Druck verfertiget, and alien trewen Hertzen communiciret worden(1). This "<br />
general reformation " is a satirical history which is supposed to proceed at the time of the<br />
Justinien emperor. <strong>The</strong> seven wise ones of Greece, with Caton and Sénèque, are<br />
destined for Delphes by Apollon on the desire of the sovereign, to propose a remedy for<br />
the misery of the human ones. <strong>The</strong> reforming programs which had course at the end of<br />
XVIe century are run into ridiculous by the interlocutors. <strong>The</strong> principal piece of this<br />
Reformation, Fama Fraternitatis, is the original part of the writing. In the edition first of the<br />
Reformation, it includes/understands pages 91 to 128 and is entitled: Fama Fraternitatis,<br />
Oder Brüderschafft, of Hochlöblichen Ordens of the R.C. Year die Häupter, Stände and<br />
Gelehrten Europae. <strong>The</strong> title, more complete, of this document, which is in an edition of 111<br />
pages in-8° also appeared in Cassel, at W Wessel, into 1615, is the following: Fama<br />
Fraternitatis R. C. Das STI Gerucht der Brüderschafft of HochlöblichenOrdens R. C. An alle<br />
Gelehrte and Heupter Europae. Beneben deroselben Lateinischen Confession, Welche<br />

Liechts, Warheit, and Friedens Liebhabenden and begierigen Philomago (2). Fama starts<br />
as follows: " Us, the Brothers of the Fraternity of the Rosicrucian brotherhood, let us offer our<br />
safety and our prayers with all those which will read our Fama of Christian inspiration ". <strong>The</strong>n<br />
it declares that in the sight of a general reform was founded two hundred years before a<br />
secret Fraternity by the Father france R.C. (3) of which it tells the life. <strong>Of</strong> German nationality,<br />
born from a noble but impoverished family, Christian <strong>Rose</strong>ncreutz became early orphan. It<br />
was high in a convent where it learned the Greek and Latin and which it left as of the sixteen<br />
years age to go, with an ecclesiastical brother, in Damas, then in Jerusalem, then in Damcar<br />
in Arabia, where there remained three years; then it went to Egypt, Libya and in Fez where<br />
it remained two years. It learned in these voyages, in the consultings of wise which it<br />
attended, a harmonic universal science, of which made fun the European scientists to which it<br />
wanted to communicate it. It drew this science in Liber Mr. (Book of World) that wise Arabic<br />
