This text addresses problems of symbols and references in "The Magic Flute" by considering a broad cultural heritage, including the early-17th century movement of the Rosicrucians, 17th- and 18th-century educational, scientific, philosophical and religious developments, and late-18th-century social and political circumstances. Appendix I is a 3-part representation of the text of "The Magic Flute": a photocopy of the original German libretto; a side-by-side English translation; and the German text that appears in Mozart's handwritten score of the opera which shows differences in words from the printed libretto and sometimes reveals a slightly different thinking of the characters' personalities and stage action. Appendix II is a photo reproduction and translation of the complete article "Ueber die Mysterien der Aegyptier", written by the Master of a Masonic lodge in Vienna, Ignaz von Born. It is said to have inspired some of the plot and detail in "The Magic Flute".
