Publisher's Synopsis
The history of Freemasonry before 1717 is shrouded in mistery but it is narrated in more than one hundred manuscripts. Their story mixes legendary elements with historical and biblical references in a confused and cryptic whole that has so far resisted any attempt at decoding. This book reveals the key to decoding and the story hidden by these and others Masonic manuscripts, revealing who the ancient Freemasons were and providing a new hypothesis on the birth of modern Freemasonsry.
