So runs part of the legend concerning the birth of the Praternity 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.

Author Christopher Mclntosh chronicles the obscure and often elusive history of this secret order, ģiving Rosicrucian seholars 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 s the fertile soil in which the movement flourished. Illustrating the affinity between the Rosicrucian ideal and the paradigm of early modern science, Mclntosh 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, Mclntosh 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, Melntosh confronts the challenge shared by all seholars: how to enrich the academic ideal of objectivity with the heightened clarity of personal perspective.
