Written by a librarian to the Mother Lodge of the Philosophic Scottish Rite with unparalleled access to the archives and documents of his age, it chronicles the schism of 1772 that produced the Grand Orient, the decades of rivalry and revolutionary turbulence that followed, and the hard-won consolidation that shaped French Freemasonry into the nineteenth century. \u003c\/p\u003eBut Thory's scope extends far beyond institutional history. The \u003cem\u003eAnnales\u003c\/em\u003e surveys the full landscape of eighteenth-century esoteric Freemasonry: the �lus-Co�ns of Martin�s de Pasqually, the Illuminati of Weishaupt, the Egyptian Masonry of Cagliostro, the Philal�thes, the Modern Templars, the adoption lodges, the hermetic societies, and the initiation of Voltaire. Papal condemnations, royal edicts, statistical tables of lodges, and original documents appear alongside the narrative, making this as much a primary source collection as a history. \u003cem\u003eHistory of the Foundation of the Grand Orient of France\u003c\/em\u003e is the first English translation of this essential work.","brand":"Triad Press","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47812883480727,"sku":"9781946814265","price":5207.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781946814265.webp?v=1778331941","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/history-of-the-foundation-of-the-grand-orient-of-france-9781946814265","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
