Description: This book meticulously chronicles the historical path of Freemasonry from its uncertain origins in the ancient world up to its formalization in the Middle Ages. The author traces the evolution of Masonic rituals, symbols, and customs, exploring their possible roots in prehistoric mystery cults, medieval guilds, and the esoteric traditions of Europe. The book also investigates the historical controversies and schisms that have shaped the development of Freemasonry over the centuries and traces the organization's geographic spread from its possible origins in the Middle East and Europe to its establishment in the Americas. The author concludes by emphasizing the enduring legacy of Freemasonry as a worldwide fraternity dedicated to the principles of brotherly love, charity, and truth.
