Rosicrucian
(gcide) | Rosicrucian \Ros`i*cru"cian\, n. [The name is probably due to a
German theologian, Johann Valentin Andre[aum], who in
anonymous pamphlets called himself a knight of the Rose Cross
(G. Rosenkreuz), using a seal with a St. Andrew's cross and
four roses.)]
One who, in the 17th century and the early part of the 18th,
claimed to belong to a secret society of philosophers deeply
versed in the secrets of nature, -- the alleged society
having existed, it was stated, several hundred years.
[1913 Webster]
Note: The Rosicrucians also called brothers of the Rosy
Cross, Rosy-cross Knights, Rosy-cross philosophers,
etc. Among other pretensions, they claimed to be able
to transmute metals, to prolong life, to know what is
passing in distant places, and to discover the most
hidden things by the application of the Cabala and
science of numbers.
