Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - What if Freemasonry has preserved a hidden structure-one that was never meant to be seen as separate For over two centuries, the relationship between the Royal Arch and the Knight Templar has remained obscure-treated as a matter of tradition, yet rarely understood as a coherent system.Drawing on rare eighteenth-century Sheffield manuscripts, Marc F. Meisner uncovers a lost ritual architecture at the heart of English Freemasonry. These texts-among the earliest to link the Royal Arch and the Knight Templar within a single initiatory progression-reveal a structure later obscured by institutional reform and reinterpretation.A unified system, long forgottenWhat emerges is not a collection of degrees, but a coherent ceremonial logic, unfolding as a single movement: - from the Temple to the Cross- from the rediscovery of the Divine Name to the imitation of the Passion- from symbolic Masonry to a fully articulated Christian ritual dramaturgyIn this light, the Royal Arch and the Knight Templar are no longer separate traditions, but two moments within a single theological and initiatory continuum.Grounded in original sourcesThis book is based on: - rare Sheffield ritual manuscripts (c. 1780-1785)- previously inaccessible or untranslated material- a close analysis of ritual structure, language, and transmissionIt offers both: - a critical edition of primary sources- and a far-reaching reinterpretation of Masonic historyWho this book is for- Freemasons seeking a deeper understanding of the Royal Arch and Knight Templar- Historians of Freemasonry and early modern religious culture- Readers interested in the hidden architecture of initiatory systemsA discovery-not a reinterpretationThis is not a reconstruction. It is the recovery of a forgotten structure. Meisner, Camille Y. (illustrator).…

ASIN: B09NT4XPVB La franc-maçonnerie des premiers temps - Chronique d'une idéeDeuxième édition revue et augmentéeLa franc-maçonnerie commence par un mot.Ce mot est ici restitué dans sa forme historiquement attestée.Mention presse La question des origines de la franc-maçonnerie fait l'objet d'une intense spéculation. Marc Meisner avance une réponse. - PressClub de France, L'édition spéciale, 17 janvier 2022Les thèses développées dans cet ouvrage ont également fait l'objet d'une publication internationale dans The Square Magazine, où l'auteur examine, à partir des sources, la formation du Mason Word avant l'apparition des systèmes de grades.Fondée, comme la première édition, sur l'analyse critique des manuscrits écossais, des procès-verbaux anciens et des sources contemporaines, cette étude revient aux documents des XVI? et XVII? siècles.Le Mason Word, attesté dans l'Écosse de la Réforme, précède les loges organisées, les grades et les constructions rituelles du XVIII? siècle.Contrairement aux interprétations ultérieures - qui ont multiplié les variantes et les justifications symboliques - l'analyse proposée ici conduit à identifier un mot précis, replacé dans son contexte confessionnel, intellectuel et historique.Loin d'un simple signe corporatif, le Mason Word apparaît comme: - un marqueur d'identité confessionnelle;- un symbole structuré par une culture théologique spécifique;- le noyau d'une fraternité distincte des seuls groupements professionnels.Ce travail prolonge et approfondit les analyses présentées dans The Square Magazine, en en proposant ici une reconstruction complète et documentée.Il ne s'agit pas de reconduire un récit romantique tardif.Il s'agit de revenir aux sources.Un livre pour comprendre comment un mot devint une idée -et comment cette idée participa à la naissance de la franc-maçonnerie spéculative.Pour celles et ceux qui souhaitent dépasser les récits convenus et explorer, à partir des documents, les conditions réelles d'émergence d'une tradition devenue mondiale.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. La franc-maconnerie des premiers temps - Chronique d'une ideeUne enquete historique sur les origines spirituelles du "Mason Word" et la naissance de la fraternite maconnique.Cette seconde edition s'imposait: les progres recents de la recherche historique, fondes sur l'exploitation de nouvelles archives, ont ouvert des perspectives inedites et permis d'eclairer sous un jour nouveau les premiers temps de la franc-maconnerie.Mais l'essentiel du constat demeure intact - et plusieurs intuitions majeures se trouvent aujourd'hui confirmees.Au coeur de l'etude: le "Mason Word", ce mot mysterieux qui, bien avant les loges speculatives, scellait l'appartenance a une communaute d'hommes unis par un engagement de foi, et non par une simple competence professionnelle.Loin d'etre un mot de passe artisanal, il se revele etre un symbole spirituel puissant, destine a combler le vide laisse, dans les iles britanniques protestantes, par la disparition de l'univers symbolique et legendaire du catholicisme medieval.L'auteur demontre que: le Mason Word est un nombre, non un grade;il possede une signification spirituelle profonde;il s'inscrit dans un contexte religieux et culturel de reconstruction symbolique apres la Reforme.Grace a de nouveaux recoupements archivistiques, cette edition permet egalement de: restituer certains proces-verbaux a leur veritable categorie d'appartenance, distinguant clairement les assemblees d'hommes ayant le Mot des simples groupements professionnels;mieux comprendre les protocoles de reception evoques dans des textes souvent allusifs, en les replacant dans leur cadre initiatique et spirituel originel.L'auteur nous livre une chronique erudite et passionnante des premiers pas d'une idee qui allait faconner la modernite spirituelle europeenne et traverser les siecles.Il nous entraine dans une plongee captivante dans la genese d'un mystere, la ou se tissent les liens entre foi, symbole et fraternite.Un ouvrage essentiel pour tous ceux qui s'interessent a l'histoire de la pensee maconnique, a ses secrets, aux liens qu'elle tisse avec la spiritualite de la Reforme et l'aube d'une modernite toujours actuelle.
