The Real History of the Rosicrucians

Description

The author has essayed to collect the mass of material which exists for the elucidation of this curious problem of European history, and to depict the mysterious brotherhood as they are revealed in their own manifestoes. The work is clear in statement and replete with learning, and affords the first complete and trustworthy account of the origin, development, and decay of Rosicrucianism ever published in English. Author Arthur Edward Waite Author Info Arthur Edward Waite (2 October 1857 – 19 May 1942), commonly known as A.

E. Waite, was an American-born British poet and scholarly mystic who wrote extensively on occult and esoteric matters, and was the co-creator of the Rider-Waite Tarot deck. As his biographer R.

A. Gilbert described him, “Waite’s name has survived because he was the first to attempt a systematic study of the history of western occultism—viewed as a spiritual tradition rather than as aspects of proto-science or as the pathology of religion.” ISBN-13 978-3849675684 Publisher Jazzybee Verlag Publication Date August 26, 2017 (Originally Published 1887) Edition Fellowship Binding Paperback Condition New Page Count 266 Pages
