Scholarly work by Frances Yates published 1972. Examines the Rosicrucian manifestos of 1614-1616 and the milieu of the Palatinate court of Frederick V, arguing for a Rosicrucian-Hermetic current underlying the Scientific Revolution and early Freemasonry.
Documented the historical context of the Rosicrucian manifestos (Fama Fraternitatis, Confessio Fraternitatis, Chemical Wedding) as products of a specific political-religious milieu, and traced their influence on later Freemasonry and scientific societies.
