Secret History Of Freemasonry: Its Origins And Connection - Paul Naudon

The Hidden history of Freemasonry is a popular conspiracy that has persisted from ancient Rome to the Middle Ages to the present day. Using medieval Archives housed throughout Europe, The Secret History of Freemasonry reveals the intimate connection between the Masons and the Knights Templar. Church records of medieval Paris show that most, if not all, the Masons of that time were Residents of the Templar, which allowed them to enjoy great exemptions and liberties from both church and state as a result of the protection afforded them by this powerful order . This tradition is the source of Masonic ritual and symbolism. Detailing the missing link in the Transformation of the operative Masonry of the medieval cathedral Builders to the spiritual principles of modern speculative Masonry, this book provides a new perspective of perhaps one of the most persistent conspiracies of our time.
