From Wikipedia
Fama Fraternitatis Rosae Crucis is an anonymous Rosicrucian manifesto published circa 1610 in Kassel, Hesse-Kassel. In 1652, Thomas Vaughan translated the work into English. An Italian edition was published as an appendix of the 77th Advertisement (part), under the title Generale Riforma dell' Universo, from a German translation of Bocallini's Ragguagli di Parnasso. The Fama was soon published in a separate form.
