The Symbolic Tradition of Freemasonry: Ritual, Secrecy, & Civil Society, Vol. 2 No. 2

This volume, full of significant work on Freemasonry and kindred subjects, is the result of a bold effort to make the best in articles about fraternalism appearing in tongues other than English available to the English-speaking scholarly world. The productivity and sophistication of researchers in Europe has meant that important progress in the field has been neglected because of the language barrier. Bridging that gap, Pierre Mollier has brought to the editorship of the series his enormous knowledge as museum director, rare book librarian, and top archivist.
The ecumenical goal of the project is shared with the World Conference on Fraternalism, meeting in Paris every two years in cooperation with the Bibliotheque nationale de France and the Museum of Freemasonry.
