AMORC IS A SHEEP IN WOLF’S CLOTHING

According the Master Monograph Degree 4, No.1, the Nodin Manuscript is dated “SUN in Capricorn, 9 degrees, Lux R+C, in the city of Lyons, France.” The Monograph says it is therefore to have been written in A.D. 720. R+C is a designation for the Rosicrucian order.

It is interesting to note that the first public document of the “Rosicrucian Order,” whatever it actually was, appeared in 1614 in Kassel Germany. That is when Frater C. R. C., commonly called Christian Rosenkreuz was first introduced to the world by an officious Rosicrucian order. It is indicated in various other documents that Rosenkreuz was born in 1378 and died in 1484, but these dates could be symbolic. Nonetheless, the alleged dating is far before Rosenkreuz allegedly lived or the 17^th century first public release of the famous Manifesto documents.

I am interested in finding out more information about the history of acronym, R+C. If anyone knows something about its origin, I would really like to know.
