The work is published for the first time in the Greek language in a commemorative edition, 150 years after the release of the first American edition.
This book gathers the historical and mythological information that constitutes the Masonic Tradition. This is made accessible through special rituals, the organized expression of which is called the "Ritual," as well as through discussions and lectures with references to specific symbolism. Since this Knowledge, for the most part, is not historically documented, it aspires to be useful in the ongoing practice of Masonic Practice. Regarding the names of degrees, offices, and Rituals, we attempted uniformity only where it was possible. Many degrees have now been abolished while others have changed name or position in their evolutionary sequence.
In the case of figures from Jewish mythology, we faithfully followed the author's choice, as they are mentioned in dialogues during Masonic works. In your hands, therefore, you have a code-tool and not a historical source. But this is Masonic Practice, concealed yet simultaneously visible.
The selection of this particular work and its presentation to the Greek reading public is dedicated, by the editor, to the memory of three friends and mentors: Paul Glyn Jones, Antonis Lemi, and George Papandropoulos.
