Tobias Hess (31 January 1568 – 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.
