The Rosicrucian Enlightenment : Yates, Frances Reviews

  Wyrd One

  Yates's reputation as the leading scholar of intellectual movements of the Renaissance period is well deserved. This book offers significant analysis of the Rosicrucian manifesto's and the intellectual currents which inspired them. The further study of historical developments in early seventeenth century Europe gives an even greater depth of understanding into the realities of the Brotherhood and how its ideology influenced the emergent speculative Freemasonry.In terms of balance, depth, and readability Yates is the benchmark for studies of this type.

  What a disappointment because of the poor quality print of text and images. I suppose the best image and text quality is on the book cover, not inside. Routledge should be ashamed to allow poor quality control.

  Frances Yates shows in this book the philosophical, theosophical, and political currents that created our modern view of scientific study. This is a must read for anybody who has followed her work on the Renaissance.
