The nineteenth-century writer and Masonic scholar Kenneth R.H. Mackenzie (1833-86) studied occultism with Frederick Hockley, and met the famous French occultist Éliphas Lévi in 1861. He was also involved in the foundation of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. This extensive encyclopaedia, first published in 1877, is considered to be a classic Masonic reference work. It includes detailed information on the symbols, rites, legends, terms, people and places associated with Freemasonry. Some of the symbols are illustrated and lists of rankings are given, including a 'traditional' list of Grand Masters of England that includes Saints Swithin and Dunstan, Alfred the Great, Sir Christopher Wren (twice) and Charles II. Mackenzie aims in his entries to be critical when relevant.

This is a classic account of the origins of freemasonry, a brotherhood of men bound together by secret initiatives, secret rituals and secret modes of identification with ideals of fraternity, equality, toleration and reason. Beginning in Britain, freemasonry swept across Europe in the mid-eighteenth century in astonishing fashion yet its origins are still hotly debated today. The prevailing assumption has been that it emerged in England around 1700, but David Stevenson demonstrates that the real origins of modern freemasonry lie in Scotland around 1600, when the system of lodges was created by stonemasons with rituals and secrets blending medieval mythology with Renaissance and seventeenth-century history. This fascinating work of historical detection will be essential reading for anyone interested in Renaissance and seventeenth-century history, for freemasons themselves, and for those readers captivated by the secret societies at the heart of the bestselling Da Vinci Code.

Masones y cristeros en Jalisco estudia cómo la masonería apoyó al gobierno mexicano en su lucha contra la Iglesia católica, tal como lo explicó el presidente Emilio Portes Gil en una célebre reunión con algunos de los más conspicuos masones para justificar los arreglos que dieron fin a ese conflicto, cuando destacó que en los gobiernos mexicanos a partir de la Reforma se ncontraba la masonería. Dada la importancia del tema invita a una investigación mayor, sobre todo en los archivos masónicos jaliscienses, fuente de difícil acceso. Esta Jornada es un adelanto de Cristeros y agraristas en Jalisco, obra en tres volúmenes, los dos primeros en prensa y el tercero en proceso de elaboración.
