Fama Fraternitatis was a Rosicrucian manifesto published in 1614 in Kassel, Germany. It was translated into English in 1652 by Thomas Vaughn .

The Fama tells the story of the mythical Alchemist Christian Rosenkreuz, his ill-fated pilgrimage to Jerusalem, his subsequent tutelage by the secret sages of the east, his return to Germany, and his establishment of a medical clinic and esoteric fraternity: "The Brotherhood of the Rosy Cross".
