Article about "Rosicrucian" in the English Wikipedia on 24-Apr-2004 (934 words)
When Rosencreuz died in 1484, the order died out, only to be "reborn" in the early 17th century.
From this conversion, Rosicrucianism was born by fusing primitive Christianity with Egyptian mysteries.
The curious legend, in which the fabulous origin of the so-called society was enshrined (Christian Rosenkreuz had discovered the secret wisdom of the East on a pilgrimage in the 15th century), was so improbable, though ingenious, that the genesis of the Rosicrucians was generally overlooked or ignored in the writings of the time.
