Rosenkreuz, C.

…In Italy, he came into contact with the Solar Society, an organization descended from Campanella, and after returning to Japan, he became the assistant pastor of Vaihingen, and from this time published the four great Rosicrucian works. This series of works predicted the resurrection 120 years later of Christian Rosenkreuz (meaning Rose Cross), a legendary figure who is said to have died in 1484, and predicted that Rosicrucian thought would be realized on earth. This was an expression of the desire to bring order to the chaos of Europe before the Thirty Years' War, and according to recent research, The Chemical Marriage alludes to the unification of a divided Europe through the marriage of the Elector of the Palatinate to Elizabeth, the daughter of James I. …

From the Rosicrucians

…a spiritual movement that arose in Germany in the early 17th century. It was a secret society that emerged with the publication of four fundamental documents by anonymous authors. Its members called themselves "Men of the Rosenkreuz" after its fictitious founder, Christian Rosenkreuz. The four fundamental documents were the pamphlet "The Universal and General Reformation of the Whole World" published in Kassel in 1614, its appendix "The Legend of the Rosicrucians," "The Creed of the Rosicrucians" published in 1615, and finally the satirical allegorical novel "The Chemical Wedding" published in Strasbourg in 1616.
