 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Rosicrucians
The original appelation of the alleged members of the occult-cabalistic-theosophic "Rosicrucian Brotherhood", described in the pamphlet "Fama Fraternitatis R.C." (Rosae crucis), which was circulated in MS.
The "Fama", which effected this, invited "all of the scholars and rulers of Europe" openly to favour the cause, and eventually to sue for entrance into the fraternity, to which, nevertheless, only chosen souls would be admitted.
The morbid propensity of the age for esoterism, magic, and confederacies caused the "Fama" to raise a feverish excitement in men's minds, expressed in a flood of writings for and against the brotherhood, and in passionate efforts to win admission to the order, or at least to discover who were its members.

The Fama Fraternitatis revealed the existence of a fraternity founded by Christian Rosenkreuz, who was said to have lived in the 14th and 15th centuries, and who had travelled extensively in the East, before returning to Europe with new wisdom and knowledge.
However, the Fama stated that the burial vault of Christian Rosenkreuz had been found by the new brotherhood of Rosicrucians, and that this implied the beginning of a new age.
The year after the publication of the Fama Fraternitatis, the Confessio Fraternitatis was also published at Kassel, Germany, again by an unknown author and, this time, in Latin instead of German.

The first known printing of the Fama occurred in or around August of 1614, and was printed in Cassel in Hesse by Wilhelm Wessel.
Although the letter was included in the book to give credence to the Fama and the fraternity, it would have been possible to dismiss the publication without much effort.

On comparing the Esoteric historical account given in the Fama with that contained in our 5° =6° Ritual, several important divergencies and discrepancies become apparent: for the Fama was written for the public and is therefore not absolutely correct.
For, be it remembered, the Fama was an official manifesto, the publication of which was authorised by the Fratres then empowered.

 6 Laws of the RC
The Latin words, 'Fama Fraternitatis', are translated, simply and directly, as the fame or reputation of the fraternity or brotherhood.
To take this first law literally would be to imply that the Order was an early 17th Century medical association; and, this was not the case, although-- then as now-- the healing of disease and the conforting of the sick is among the highest of human professions.
By the beginning of the 17th Century, the "learned of Europe" (to whom, the 'Fama' was addressed) was waiting for a great, general reformation far more radical and widespread then that accomplished by Martin Luther and the majority of Protestant Europe.

 Secret Teachings of All Ages: The Fraternity of the Rose Cross
The Fama Fraternitatis begins with a reminder to all the world of God's goodness and mercy, and it warns the intelligentsia that their egotism and covetousness cause them to follow after false prophets and to ignore the true knowledge which God in His goodness has revealed to them.
After thoroughly investigating the contents of the secret chamber, the brass plate and altar were put back in place, the door of the vault was again sealed, and the Brothers went their respective ways, their spirits raised and their faith increased by the miraculous spectacle which they had beheld.
It is maintained by many that, as a consequence, numerous pseudo-societies sprang up, each asserting that it was the organization concerning which the Fama Fraternitatis and the Confessio Fraternitatis were written.

 nthposition online magazine: Lusus serius: The Rosicrucian manifestos and the 'serious joke'
The 'Fama Fraternitatis', as the first manifesto is known, uses the form of a political proclamation to present a fiction as truth; the final manifesto, the 'Chemical Wedding of Christian Rosenkreuz', uses the form of an allegorical narrative to present truth as fiction.
Perhaps the closest contemporary equivalent to the form of the Fama is the works of the Church of the SubGenius, the anonymous surrealist antinomians who propagate their message in the style of today's religious clarion-call, the mail-order exhortations of evangelical churches.
The 'Fama's clarion-call was a list of grandiose claims and promises which urgently begged the kind of substance which the 'Chemical Wedding' provided; in turn, the Fama's insistence on the "Universal and General Reformation of the Whole Wide World" made sure that the allegory of the 'Chemical Wedding' was combed assiduously for its hidden meaning.
