Description: JOHANN FREIMAURER. A JOURNEY INTO A MASONIC LODGE: A PHOTOGRAPHIC ACCOUNT. Torino Italy: Associazione Cavalieri di Scozia. FIRST EDITION IN ENGLISH. 1994. 204 pages. NUMEROUS COLOR ILLUSTRATIONS. Quarto (12 by 8 1/2 inch) hardcover, blue boards, gilt symbol front, gilt titling to spine, printed on thick, heavy clay paper. Light wear to edges of d/j (now protected in a removable mylar sleeve), slightest bit of bowing to boards, & overall VERY GOOD CONDITION IN VERY GOOD D/J. “The book contains some beautiful illustrations and will help understanding many things about Italian Masons, who are not, as many political and religious groups try to describe us, rogues who use the lodges for illegal dealings, to build subversive conspiracies, to destabilize national institutions and subvert public order. ... Through this book we would like everyone to understand that Masonry is an institution whose aim is the moral and spiritual growth of its members...” According to the rear d/j flap, the book originally came with a dvd of Jean Sibelius's Masonic music, but that is not included here. The name of the author may simply be a pseudonym, as it means John Freemason in German. The two Sts. John are held sacred in most Masonic lodges today.
