Description: Originally written as a proposed study guide for members of the Rosicrucian organization AMORC, of which John W. Lang was a member.  There are very few copies of  Breviarium Philosophorum still in existence; most are in the hands of John W. Lang's family. John W. Lang was born in Germany in the mid 1800s. His father Anton Lang was a music publisher. At a young age John came to America to start a new life. In America he worked as an autographer (he drew musical notes on manuscripts) and a zither player. He was also an artist and composer. He died in 1947 of a heart attack , 5 years after writing Breviarium Philosophorum. He was survived by 6 children: May, Felix, Alice, Frank, Gloria, and George.
