Die ersten öffentlichen Nachrichten über die Rosenkreuzer stammen aus den Jahren 1614-1616 und wurden von Johann Valentin Andreae verfasst. Da Mitglieder des angeblichen Ordens nicht namhaft gemacht werden konnten, wurde die Existenz des Ordens vielfach verneint. Mit Robert Fludd (1569-1637) und Michael Maier (1574-1622) traten aber zwei tüchtige Verteidiger der Rosenkreuzer auf. In dieser Schrift sind viele Argumente für die tatsächliche Existenz der Rosenkreuzer zusammengetragen.
