Discussing the value of this book we must compare it to some other classics.

The first is MacIntosh's Rosicrucians which iis the "must" and the first that one must have red in order to know the basic of the movement.

Second is the literary history (as a non adept historian) of the R+C movement given by Frances Yeats in her "Rosicrucian Enlightment".

Wittemans book contains review of bibliography difficult to find today like the book of Sedir on the Rosicrucians and many books that had reviewed in order to write his own account. It gives many informations where the others stop. but is not the first book to get in touch with the R+C movement since there is McIntosh book.

A well written, informative, interesting & compelling insite into a Society who were spawned by, & continue to influence some of the worlds greatest creative, inventive & forward thinking minds, and whose goals, aims & philosophies are at the root of modern day Freemasonary. Once again KESSINGER PUBLICATIONS have come up trumps in re-vamping/re-publishing a classic work of great importance, which once read & digested cannot fail to get the cogs turning. Thank you Fr Wittemans; thank you KESSINGER.
