Andreae was a protestant theologian who was believed to be the author of the two Rosicrucian manifestos, the Fama Fraternitatis and the Confessio Fraternitatis, published in 1614—IS, and The Chemical Wedding of Christian Rosenkreutz (1616), which uses specifically alchemical symbolism in its story of the humble Christian Rosenkreutz s spiritual awakening. 

There are, of course, lots of Rosicrucian essays, over two hundred written between 1614 and 1623, and Eglinus may be just one of many writers excited by the possibility of a Rosicrucian brotherhood, real or imaginary. Yet the closeness of Eglinus to the publication of the earliest Rosicrucian manifestos at Kassel, his earlier encounter with Giordano Bruno, an interest in Paracelsian cosmology and Basilian alchemy, and his prophetic chiliasm set within the tradition of the returning Elias Artista, make him at least a good candidate for admittance into the inner circle of Rosicrucian enthusiasts. 

In a similar way, what little evidence there is, concerning for example the publication of Fludd s History, does not seem to tally with the above interpretation. For instance, according to Fludd s own testimony, the man who kept him informed about the printing of his volumes appears to have been a certain Justus Helt and not, as one might expect, Maier. Unfortunately, up to now nothing is known about this Kelt (or Held), except for the fact that in the very same years he was in personal contact with Johann Valentin Andreae (1586-1654), the alleged author of the Rosicrucian manifestos. ...
