 ROSICRUCIANSTHE HISTORY, MYTHOLOGY, AND RITUALS OF AN ESOTERIC ORDER Christopher McIntosh from the editor: Almost 120 years after his death, the body of Father Christian Rosenkreuz was discovered perfectly preserved in a seven-sided vault. So runs part of the legend concerning the birth of the Fraternity of the Rosy Cross, with its mysterious founder Christian Rosenkreuz, forerunner of the many "Secret Masters" who have had such a profound influence on the course of Western esoteric tradition. Alchemy, Freemasonry, the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, and important literary works have all been enriched by the legend and symbolism of Rosicrucianism. Author Christopher McIntosh chronicles the obscure and often elusive history of this secret order, giving Rosicrucian scholars an excellent resource work. He plants the roots of Rosicrucianism firmly in Hellenic and Arabic sources, establishing an intellectual matrix encompassing Qabalistic doctrine, medieval mysticism, and Renaissance Neoplatonism as the fertile soil in which the movement flourished. Illustrating the affinity between the Rosicrucian ideal and the paradigm of early modern science, McIntosh reaches out to figures like Eckhart, Tauler, Comenius, and Bacon to tie Agrippan and Paracelsan mind-sets to the curious mythology of the Rosy Cross. Paying special attention to the role of Freemasonry in preserving the Rosicrucian ideal, McIntosh pursues his research through the 18th and 19th centuries, exploring its growth and metamorphosis in Germany and France. He includes a survey of Rosicrucianism in America, exploring the latter-day survivals of Bacon's New Atlantis. In this third revised and updated edition, McIntosh confronts the challenge shared by all scholars: how to enrich the academic ideal of objectivity with the heightened clarity of personal perspective.
