Who said major Masonic discoveries are a thing of the past? This work is a very rare, early collection of 18th-century French (West Indies) Masonic Rituals carefully retranslated by Josef Wages to provide as accurate an understanding of the rituals as possible. The Introduction itself is a major work, explaining the role of these rituals, why they found their way to Louisiana, and the answers they give to the whole of Freemasonry. The work provides a valuable link to understanding the development of both Louisiana Masonry and the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite. The rituals are offered as photographic reproductions, French transcriptions, and English translations. This collection is indispensable to any serious study of early Masonic rituals.
