Rosicrucians, Freemasons & Secret Societies

The Rosicrucian Enlightenment

by Frances A. Yates

Frances A. Yates examines the Rosicrucian manifestos of the early seventeenth century and the intellectual movement she associated with them. She links them to the court of Frederick V of the Palatinate and to figures such as John Dee, Robert Fludd and Michael Maier, and traces their influence on early science and Freemasonry. It is a classic study of the Rosicrucian phenomenon.
