Description from the seller

(Lumignon, P., Ed.): Hephata or Memories and Confessions of a Freemason. Leipzig, Andrä 1836. With 16 folded lithograph plates. XII, 316 pages, 1 leaf. Decorative, somewhat later hardcover binding.


Wolfstieg 30018; Taute 1342 (cites Ed. Pelz as editor). - 'The book, one of the worst libelous writings against Freemasonry, contains reports from various rites and degrees in distorted form with the crudest caricatures' (Lennhoff/P. 687). Among other things, it is claimed that the main purpose of Freemasonry is eating. - The lithographed plates at the end of the volume (and between pages 238/239) show various Masonic motifs in some cases sharply caricatured form. - Title and the inserted leaf on the side are cut about 1 cm. little foxed.
