Fortalitium scientiae, das ist: Die unfehlbare volkommeliche unerschätzliche Kunst aller Künsten und magnalien
First Translation
This text has not previously been translated into English.
Friedrich Grick's 'Fortalitium Scientiae' (1617), often published under the pseudonym Irenaeus Agnostus, is a notable Rosicrucian work that has been extensively discussed in English-language scholarship (e.g., by Vera Keller and Frances Yates). However, no evidence of a complete English translation was found in any major catalog or bibliographic database; it remains available primarily in its original 17th-century German and Latin editions.
