The Comacines Their Predecessors and Their Successors (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book tells the story of the medieval artisans who left Rome, settled in Lombardy, and became the most influential and admired guild of builders in Western Europe during the Dark Ages. The book explores the historical origins of the guild, its organizational structure, and its legacy in architecture and sculpture, with particular focus on the Quatuor Coronati, the four martyred patron saints of the guild. The author makes the argument that the speculative Freemasonry of today is the outcome of the operative Masonry of the Middle Ages, and that the Comacines, as they were called, were one of its primary antecedents. The book thus provides an invaluable context for understanding both the history of architecture and the development of Freemasonry.
