Abstract
Helisaeus Röslin does not figure significantly in historical surveys of religious tolerance. Nevertheless, Carlos Gilly has shown in several works that the Swabian-Alsatian physician tirelessly defended throughout his life the need to uphold the freedom of religion and of conscience, both as a religious postulate and as a factor for economic progress and social peace. This article focuses on Röslin’s concept of religious freedom in relation to his concept of history, his work on chronology and his interpretation of the celestial novelties of the period, particularly the nova of 1604 and Galileo’s discovery of the Medicean planets in 1610, just as they appear in two of Röslin’s later works: Mitternächtige Schiffarth (1611) and the Tabella des Welt Spiegels (1612).

Antes de poner de manifiesto otras razones en el curso de nuestra exposición, podemos comprender que Carlos Gilly haya introducido a Röslin en su catálogo de publicaciones y documentos relativos a los manifiestos rosacruces como uno de los antecedentes intelectuales y espirituales de la Fama y la Confessio.[3]
