Tobias Hess (31 January 1558 – 24 November 1614[1]) was a German lawyer based in Tübingen.
He practised as a Paracelsian physician.
Hess was influenced by Simon Studion.
He has been identified, alongside Christoph Besold and Johannes Valentinus Andreae, as one of the authors of the Rosicrucian manifestos.
[2] In 1597, he corresponded with Simon Studion and agreed with him that the Papacy must fall in 1604. http://www.ritmanlibrary.com/collection/rosicrucians/
