Early Rosicrucian Manuscripts


CRC




     One of the purposes of the Rosicrucian Salon is to provide an online educational resource for  Rosicrucians and to those interested in learning about our roots by viewing the earliest original texts in English and other languages.

     There are other excellent websites that publish text only versions of some of the same documents but what you will find here are 1st generation photo reproductions of the ORIGINAL Rosicrucian manuscripts contained in our Order's Archive.   Being able to view these pictures online is the next best thing to viewing the original copies in person.  For the antiquarian on a budget this is a dream come true.



Fama Fraternitatis - the first and most well known of early Rosicrucian documents where the story of Father CRC is told and the Order he formed.

Confessio - another early document associated with the Fama where thw writer "confesses" the true nature of man's being, his search for the Philosoper's Stone
