[A new discovery about the Chymical Wedding in the later correspondence of Johann Valentin Andreae]
"The Chymical Wedding is one of Johann Valentin Andreae’s best-known works, and it is also the most difficult of all. Research has not yet succeeded in uncovering the numerous literary and alchemical sources in full detail. First of all, this contribution will try to depict, in a short historical digression, Andreae’s collaboration with the so-called Tübingen Cenacle and his key role in the composition of the Rosicrucian manifestos. Against this background, the genesis of the Chymical Wedding will be subsequently reconstructed. In a second part, the present contribution will study the correspondence between Andreae and Augustus the Younger, Duke of Brunswick-Lüneburg: it will point out how Andreae described his relationship to Rosicrucianism and utopian thought and how explicit proofs of his authorship of the writing have been preserved in his correspondence."
I have run the German text of the article through Google's translation program to create an English version. There are a few minor problems.
