Pyrrho Clidensis Redivivus: A Consideration of the Rosicrucian Brotherhood

REDIVIVUS.

But the aforementioned Brotherhood is said to originate from a monk of German noble lineage named RosenCreutz Christian Rosenkreuz, the legendary founder of the Rosicrucian order, whose name literally means "Rose Cross"; although, based on the name itself and certain matters known to me original Latin: "ex ipso nomine, & rebus quibusdam mihi notis", I have reason to conjecture something different.

When this same man—during the first true dawning of the Reformation of the deeply-darkened Papacy original: "Pabsthumbs" by God's grace—saw exactly what several of his contemporaries original Latin: "Synchronorum" and reformers original Latin: "Reformatorum" also saw, but which they could not bring to light or dare to undertake due to great persecution and a lack of supporters; or perhaps because it was not yet God's will and the Spirit did not permit it—just as happened to Paul and his chosen traveling companion Silas in Asia, when they intended to travel into Bithynia, as may be read in the 16th chapter of the Acts of the Apostles—he set himself on a journey and came to Damascus, where he learned much from the Arabic Magi Refers to wise men or practitioners of secret natural philosophy, mathematics, and medicine.

Afterward, he moved on to Mauritania, specifically to Fez original: "Fessam," a major intellectual and scientific center in Morocco during the Middle Ages, where he was further initiated and instructed.
