The
Chymical Wedding of Christian Rosenkreutz (
Chymische Hochzeit Christiani Rosencreutz anno 1459) was edited in 1616 in
Strasbourg, and its anonymous authorship is attributed to
Johann Valentin Andreae. The Chymical Wedding is often described as the third of the original manifestos of the mysterious "Fraternity of the Rose Cross" (
Rosicrucians), although it is markedly different from the
Fama Fraternitatis and
Confessio Fraternitatis in style and in subject matter.
