A history of the role that the occult has played in the formation of modern science and medicine, 'The Rosicrucian Enlightenment' has had a tremendous impact on our understanding of the western esoteric tradition. Yates clears away the factual fog surrounding the origins og the Rosicrucians. The author was a scrupulous and brilliant historian who has not, as far as I can find, been seriously challenged on her major conclusions by another scholar of similar standing and specialty. She investigate the development of magical beliefs, alchemy, science and the connection of these in the Rosicrusian worldview. An unmatched classic in the field. ; Small 8vo 7½" - 8" tall; 269 pages .
