The Chymical Wedding of Christian Rosenkreutz (GermanChymische Hochzeit Christiani Rosencreutz anno 1459) was first printed by Lazare Zetzner in Strasbourg in 1616, after having been in circulation for some time as a manuscript. Written between 1603 and 1605, it describes in the form of an alchemical novel the initiatory experiences of Christian Rosenkreutz, which ultimately led to the founding of the Rosicrucian initation. The very lively, colourful descriptions of the Chymical Wedding remarkably do not paint the picture of a rapt, lofty, unworldly stoic sage, but rather show us a full-bodied, humorous, sometimes also frightened and depressed human being who cries and laughs and to whom the whole range of human emotions in their ups and downs is by no means alien. Only arrogance, vanity and megalomania are completely far from him.
