I have started a sort of crowdsourcing project on Academia.com to get all the Rosicrucian manifestos translated into English:

https://independent.academia.edu/PaulFerguson2

I have already uploaded my own draft translations of some of them, including the Pandora.

There is also my transcription of the Green Lion which Ruud Muschter has recently translated for Adam's Magnum Opus series.

A useful list of Rosicrucian texts will be found here:

The translations I have put up on academia.com are not really polished enough to be offered to Adam for inclusion in his Magnum Opus series but they will do for the time being.

I have just uploaded a transcription/translation of an early Rosicrucian alchemical text, 'De Naturae Secretis quibusdam ad Vulcaniam Artis Chimiae ante omnia necessariis.'

There is a translation (not by me) of the Assertio Fraternitatis in this document from page 24 [241] to page 27 [244]:

Last year, Ruud Muschter , has translated most of the 'Sendschrieben' for me and also the 'Pandora Sextae Aetatis'.

So there should be no need to repeat those translations.

I am sure Ruud would be happy to make these available to you.

Thanks.

The translations were done quite some time ago and have been lying around here, so no new effort is being put into them.

I also think there's always room for alternative translations of these quite enigmatic texts - there is no 'last word'.

It would also be nice to attract a wider audience for these texts than can be achieved through expensive 'heirloom editions', however collectable.

Paul, do you know the source for that http://www.christianrosenkreuz.org piece you posted. It seems to come from some group associated with Max Heindel.
