Fama Fraternitatis
From Academic Kids
Fama Fraternitatis was a Rosicrucian manifesto published in 1614 in Kassel, Germany. It was translated into English in 1652 by Thomas Vaughn.
The Fama tells the story of the mythical Alchemist Christian Rosenkreuz, his ill-fated pilgrimage to Jerusalem, his subsequent tutelage by the secret sages of the east, his return to Germany, and his establishment of a medical clinic and esoteric fraternity: "The Brotherhood of the Rosy Cross".
