true wisdom; essence is, " like known as Christ, to be able to order from the daemons, to<br />

see the open sky and the angels of God to go up there and go down some and to have its<br />

name written on the Book of Life ". This writing was widespread in five languages, "<br />

including the Confessio opuscule, according to our wish ". scientists of Europe are invited to<br />

try out the suggestions that it contains and to publish their reflexions. <strong>The</strong> Brothers ask that<br />

one study their arts and their sciences, that it is written to them and that they are judged: then<br />

they will be shown. And people of good are solicited to meet in an unknown Company of<br />

the world. Those which will answer this call will be put in relation to the Company, because<br />

the Building will not remain invisible forever. When somebody is worthy to be allowed<br />

among them, the Brothers recognize it by revelation. And Fama ends in the currency: Sub<br />

will umbra alarum tuarum, Jehova!(12). With the edition of 1614 of Fama is joined a "<br />

answer " addressed by Adam Haselmayer, secretary public of the Maximilien archduke,<br />

with the members of the <strong>Rose</strong>-<strong>Croix</strong> (13). It says that being in the Tyrol into 1610, it had<br />

received a handwritten copy of Fama. II speaks with enthusiasm about Fraternity, asks the<br />

Brothers to appear in order to teach in the world the knowledge of the Messiah and to<br />

announce the light which must come at time from the reign from the Holy Spirit, bus in next<br />

times must occur serious events: the fall of the pope, adversary of Jesus-Christ, and her<br />

partisans, and the triumphing advent of Christ. Let us add that, as of the publication of the<br />

Reformation, one noted that the project of universal reform is not an original thought of the<br />

Rosicrucian brotherhood, but which it is only one translation of the lampoon of Trajano<br />

Boccalini: Ragguagli di Parnasso (News of the Parnassus), published in Venice into 1612.<br />

In any case, at the time where appeared the oldest documents rosicrucians, the belief was<br />

current in a nearest general revolution. One spoke even about a reform more complete than<br />

that of Luther, which would precede the end by the world. As complement of Fama<br />

appeared into 1615 one second booklet: Confessio Fraternitatis Rosae Crucis. AD<br />

eruditos Europae(14), also published in Cassel, at Wilhelm Wessel, accompanied by<br />

Fama, initially in Latin, then in German translation. In the edition that we have just mentioned,<br />

Confessio includes/understands, in its Latin text, pages 43 to 64 and, in its translation in<br />

German, pages 67 to 111. Its contents are in conformity with that of Fama, though with<br />

more accentuated point at the same time apocalypse and of antipapism. It speaks with<br />

more precision of the reform of the world, and especially it reveals the name of the founder<br />

of Fraternity: it calls it Christian <strong>Rose</strong>ncreutz and declares that it was born into 1378 and that<br />

it lived a hundred and six years. Formed under the impulse of the Spirit, the Company<br />

aims to bring back the age of happiness after the night saturnienne. <strong>The</strong>n what will have<br />

been secret will be revealed; the lie, falseness will disappear. Fraternity will produce at the<br />

great day all its secrecies. It wants to live in good terms with the State, because it offers to<br />

the supreme head of the Roman Empire his prayers, its secrecies and all its treasures.<br />

Science will not save the world: on the contrary, it makes only increase pride. God will light<br />

for the Brothers a sixth torch, it will result from it from the wonders. <strong>The</strong>y will suffer any more<br />

neither of the hunger, neither of poverty, nor of the disease; their life will be prolonged<br />

without end. <strong>The</strong>y will communicate with the Indies and Peru; and will be able to read in a<br />

single book all that contain the books passed, present and future. <strong>The</strong>y will metamorphose,<br />

by the means of the song, the rocks out of precious stones and will manage to move and<br />

the god by the hells, Pluton, and the large ones of the ground. Before the destruction of the<br />

world, God solved to once again send to him as much light, life and magnificence that Adam<br />

had received some before the original sin. And this time approaches. Confessio exhorte<br />

readers with reading the Bible, " the most extraordinary book, most salutary, most<br />

admirable which was given to the men since the creation of the world " and especially<br />

making the rule of their life of it. By doing this, they are linked in spirit with Fraternity. II has<br />

there nothing to await social reforms or morals nor of philosophy: it is by people can be<br />

selected, if they are suited there, for work of the Fraternity, which has more gold and<br />

treasures that all the universe can give some. This however does not constitute the principal<br />

goal of the Command; above all, the Brothers confess the Christ of a sincere heart, they<br />

profess true philosophy and carry out a Christian life WEDDINGS CHYMIQUES OF
