Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Discover the remarkable history of the most widely known secretive fraternal organization in this comprehensive one-volume text. It includes a thorough encyclopedia, a full dictionary of symbols, and over 300 beautiful nineteenth-century engravings. The 600-year-old brotherhood of Freemasons is rooted in a tradition over 3,000 years old. Robert Macoy, a member of the order, utilizes available resources to discern truth from a myriad of half-truths, rumors, and interpretations. He presents the rise and evolution of Freemasonry and its related associations, both ancient and modern. The "General History of Freemasonry" offers a captivating introduction to this complicated subject often filled with ambiguities. Following this are two A-to-Z reference works: one an encyclopedia listing terms, people, places, and events that shape Freemasonry's extensive history, and the other a dictionary of symbols. This makes for a complete sourcebook on the topic. Covering everything from Aaron and the Abelites to the Year of Masonry and the Rite of Zinnendorf, this text is remarkably accessible. Robert Macoy (1815-1895), known for establishing the Order of the Eastern Star and holding significant positions within the Fraternity, was a prolific author and publisher on Freemasonry.
