Enstehung der Bruederschaft des loeblichen
Ordens des _Rosenkreutzes_, &c. 8vo. Cassel, 1614. [Ascribed to John
Valentine Andrea. In this pamphlet occurs the _first_ mention of the
society; no allusion being made to it in the works of Bacon,
Paracelsus, Agrippa, &c. It was republished at Frankfort in 1617 under
a somewhat different title. Appended to it is a tract entitled
"Sendbrieff, oder Bericht an Alle welche von den _neuen_ Bruederschafft
des Ordens von _Rosen-Creutz_ genannt etwas gelesen," &c. This work
contains a full account of the origin and tenets of the brotherhood,
{107} and is the source whence modern writers have drawn their
information. It called into existence a host of pamphlets for and
against the very existence and tenets of the society.]
