Par un Chevalier de tous les Ordres Maçonniques- Louis Guillemain de Saint Victor - Recueil précieux de la Maçonnerie Adonhiramite - 1810

Louis Guillemain de Saint-Victor - Precious Collection of the Adonhiramite Masonry - 1810 - Volume I and II - Jean-Albert Joly
144 pages + 1 plate.

Fascinating illustrated collection of this volume, intended for initiates and high dignitaries of Freemasonry, gathers the rituals of the first four grades (Apprentice, Companion, Master, Elected Master), as well as those of higher grades specific to the Adonhiramite system, such as the Grand Elected, the Sublime Perfect Master, the Knight of the Flaming Star, or the Commander of the Temple.

Each grade is accompanied by a detailed presentation of the initiation ceremonies, sacred words, signs, touches, founding legends (notably that of Hiram), and the moral and philosophical instructions that stem from them.

Guillemain de Saint-Victor, a former officer and learned mason, is committed to codifying and transmitting a coherent ritual corpus, marked by a strong biblical, chivalric, and esoteric influence, while claiming fidelity to the spirit of the Enlightenment and to the post-revolutionary French masonic reform.
