Description
1877 MASONIC Antiquities FREEMASONRY Norse Medieval Oriental Rituals Rites



“The Early History and Antiquities of Freemasonry” by George Franklin Fort, notable American physician, judge, and 16th Governor of New Jersey. In this book, Fort critically examines and challenges prevailing Masonic traditions, seeking to ground the history of Freemasonry in verifiable facts and draw connections to ancient Norse guilds, and Oriental and medieval building fraternities. He meticulously traces the fraternitys evolution from the decline of the Roman Empire, through the medieval period, up to its formal transition from an operative to a speculative society in 1717. Forts rigorous approach ensures a reliance on substantiated evidence and historical accuracy, distancing his work from the unsubstantiated legends that have long dominated Masonic history. His intention was to provide a balanced and reliable historical account, accessible to both Freemasons and the general public, enriched by valuable documentary evidence gathered from numerous European libraries.
