Encyclopedia Of Freemasonry And Its Kindred Sciences Volume 1: A-C – Albert G. Mackey

Dr. Albert G. Mackey appears as author of this ” Encyclopedia of Freemasonry and its Kindred Sciences,” which, being a library in inself, superseded most of the Masonic works which have been tolerated by the craft — chiefly because none better could be obtained. Here is a work which fulfils the hope which sustained the author through ten years’ literary labor, that, under one cover he “would furnish every Mason who might consult its pages the means of acquiring a knowledge of all matters connected with the science, the philosophy, and the history of his order.”

Up to the present time the modern literature of Freemasonry … Read more.../Mehr lesen ...

The Complete Jataka Tales

The Complete Jataka Tales – Edward Byles Cowell

The Jatakas, or Birth-stories, form one of the sacred books of the Buddhists and relate to the adventures of the Buddha in his former existences, the best character in any story being identified with the Master. These legends were continually introduced into the religious discourses of the Buddhist teachers to illustrate the doctrines of their faith or to magnify the sanctity of the Buddha, somewhat as medieval preachers in Europe used to enliven their sermons by introducing fables and popular tales to rouse the flagging interest of their hearers.

The Meaning Of Masonry

The Meaning Of Masonry – W. L. Wilmshurst

The five essays contained in this book are offered in the best spirit of fraternity and goodwill and with the wish to render to the Order some small return for the profit the author has received from his association with it extending over thirty-two years. They have been written with a view to promoting the deeper understanding of the meaning of Masonry; to providing the explanation of it that one constantly hears called for and that becomes all the more necessary in view of the unprecedented increase of interest in, and membership of, the Order at the present day.

The Sacred Writings of the Apocrypha of the New Testament

The Sacred Writings of the Apocrypha of the New Testament – Matthew Brown Riddle

While the early Church exercised proper discernment, and the Canon of the New Testament was soon definitely recognised and universally accepted, the apocryphal writings were not without influence. The sacred legends, the ecclesiastical traditions, all too potent in their effect, are in many cases to be traced to these writings. Much that Rome inculcates is derived from these books, which the Western Church constantly rejected.

Included are:

The Protevangelium of James
The Gospel of Pseudo-Matthew
The Gospel of the Nativity of Mary
The History of Joseph the Carpenter
The Gospel of Thomas
The Gospel of Nicodemus
The Letter of Pontius Pilate
.. and many more …… Read more.../Mehr lesen ...

The Principles of Masonic Law

The Principles of Masonic Law – Albert G. Mackey

The laws which govern the Institution of Freemasonry are of two kinds, unwritten and written, and may in a manner be compared with the “lex non scripta,” or common law, and the “lex scripta,” or statute law of English and American jurists. This book explains both kinds and provides deep insights on the ways masonic lives happen or don’t happen.
