Societas Rosicruciana in Anglia (Rosicrucian Society of England) was a Masonic esoteric Christian order formed by Robert Wentworth Little in 1865,〔King 1989, page 28〕〔J. Gordon Melton, page 179〕 although some sources acknowledge the date to be 1866-67.〔C.M., The Rosicrucians, page 109〕〔(R.W. Littles Biography ) at the Grand Lodge of British Columbia and Yukon〕 Members are confirmed from the ranks of subscribing Master Masons〔 of a Grand Lodge in amity with United Grand Lodge of England. The structure and grade of this order, as A. E. Waite suggests, were derived from the 18th-century German Order of the Golden and Rosy Cross. It later became the same grade system used for the Golden Dawn.〔(The masonic career of A.E. Waite ) by Bro. R. A. Gilbert〕 ==History== The society claims to be inspired by the original Rosicrucian Brotherhood but does not allege a provable link thereto. It bases its teachings on those found in the ''Fama'' and ''Confessio Fraternitas'' published in the early 17th century in Germany along with other similar publications from the same time. The society was founded in 1867, derived from a pre-existing Rosicrucian order in Scotland (which bore no relation to similarly named the Societas Rosicruciana in Scotia, which was a later creation), following the admission of William James Hughan and Robert Wentworth Little. These Fratres were advanced quickly in Scotland and granted a warrant to form a Society in England. The formation meeting took place on 1 June 1867 in Aldermanbury, London with Frater Little elected Master Magus, the title of "Supreme Magus" not being invented until some years later. They produced a journal, called ''The Rosicrucian'', which was co-edited by William Robert Woodman. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Societas Rosicruciana in Anglia」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
