Christian Rosenkreuz (1378 [1] - 1484 [2]) is the possibly legendary founder of the Rosicrucian Order. The first anonymous public document on the Rosicrucian Order is the Fama Fraternitatis Rosae Crucis which appeared in 1614 in Kassel (Germany) followed in 1615 by the Confessio Fraternitatis (issued with Fama (...)). In 1616 appears the Chymical Wedding of Christian Rosenkreutz in Strasbourg (annexed by France in 1861) which introduces for the first time the name Christian Rosenkreutz.

According to legend, Christian Rosenkreuz discovered and learned the Secret Wisdom as a pilgrim to the East in the 15th century; founded the "Fraternity of the Rose Cross" having him (Father C.R.C.) as the Head of the Order. Under his direction a Temple, called "The House of the Holy Spirit", was built. His body was discovered by a Brother of the Order, in a perfect state of conservation, 120 years after his death (which occurred in absolute secrecy) - as Rosenkreuz had predicted - in a chamber erected by himself as a compendium of the universe. It is described that on the Sarcophagus in the centre of the Crypt of Christian Rosenkreutz was written “JESUS MIHI OMNIA”. A legend (Latin, legenda, things to be read) is a narrative of human actions that are perceived both by teller and listeners to take place within human history and to possess certain qualities that give the tale verisimilitude. ...

According to Maurice Magre in his book Magicians, Seers And Mystics, Christian Rosenkreutz was the last descendant of the Germelschausen [3], a german family florished in the 13th century. Their Castle stood in the Thuringian Forest on the Border of Hesse and they had embraced Albigense's doctrines, combining pagan superstitions and christian beliefs. The whole family was put to death, by Landgrave Conrad of Thuringia, excepted the youngest son, who was only five years old. He was carried away secretly by a monk, who was an Albigensian adept from Languedoc. The child was placed in a monastery, that had already come under the influence of the Albigenses, where he was educated and made the acquaintance of the four others brothers later to be associated with him in the founding of the Rosicrucian Brotherhood. His account derives from oral tradition .

Symbolism of the numbers in the Manifestos
The Legend presented in the Manifestos has been interpreted through centuries as texts full of symbolism, written in a hermetic language; since they are presented by Brothers who had dedicated themselves to the study of science as physics and mathematics and to Christian esoteric knowledge including and alchemy. It appears to have been adopted, through the Manifestos, the Pythagorean tradition of envisioning objects and ideas in terms of their numeric aspects.

Numbers as geometry In respect to this view, it can be used, as an e.g., the statement "in these one hundred and six years of his life" (Confessio Fraternitatis). In a linear-superficial reading, this statement may be interpreted as a reference to the number of years of C.R.C.'s life, in order to determine the year of his death. However, it is interesting to notice that 106 (number) is a centered heptagonal number. A centered heptagonal number is a centered figurate number that represents a heptagon with a dot in the center and all other dots surrounding the center dot in successive heptagonal layers. A way to calculate it is by multiplying the triangular number for (n - 1) by 7, then adding 1. This formula is very similar to the description stated in the first manifesto, Fama Fraternitatis, related to the opening of C.R.C.'s tomb, which reads: "In the morning following we opened the door, and there appeared to our sight a Vault of seven sides and corners (...) in the midst, in stead of a Tomb-stone, was a round Altar covered over with a plate of brass", "This is all clear and bright, as also the seventh side and the two Heptagoni" and "Of the upper part you shall understand no more of it at this time, but that it was divided according to the seven sides in the triangle". 106 is the natural number following 105 and preceding 107. ...
