Silentium post clamores

This work, translated into French for the first time, represents an event in esoteric literature. It author, Michael Maier, was born in Germany in 1569. A doctor of medicine and philosophy, he entered the service of Emperor Rudolph II of Austria, himself a devotee of esotericism. Humanist, poet, mathematician, Michael Maier wrote a number of works and was common to English and German Rosicrucian circles. The 1617 work Silentium post clamores offers extremely interesting explanations regarding origins and the ideals of the Order of the Rose-Cross as well as revealing numerous details about its role. This document therefore has an undeniable historical value, as it proves this fraternity has existed since the beginning of the 17th Century, an existence which is occasionally disputed by certain authors. TABLE OF CONTENTS Read the table of contents THE SECRETS OF NATURE ARE REMARKABLE (chapter 2) Read an extract (pages 26-28)
