A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

These two words have acquired a wide Masonic celebrity. They constituted the title of theB ook of Constitutions, used by the division ofF reemasons, which separated from the Grand Lodge of England in 1736, and have since become the usual designation of such works in this country. Deemott, in 1772, styled his book the 1eue A himan Rezon, and he claimed for his portion of theO rder the practice of Ancient Masonry. The inference is obvious that there was a spurious work under this title then extant. An inquiry into their meaning is, therefore, not irrelevant. I have met wdth no exposition of the signification of this phrase, except in the edition first published inS outh Carolina by Dr. Dai.- CHO, in 1807, and reprinted, with additions, in 1822; and afterward re-arranged and edited by Dr. Mackey in 1852; and, also, in theL exicon ofF reemaso7iry, by the last-mentioned distinguished author. The following is Dr. Dalcho sdefinition in the edition of 1822: The Book of Constitutions is usually denominated A himan Kezon. The literal translation of ahiman is a prepared brother, from manah, to prepare; and that of rezon, secret. So that A himan Eezon literally means the secrets of a prepared brother. It is likewise supposed to be a corruption of achi man ratzon, the thoughts or opinions of a true and faithful brother. There are several difficulties which seem to render this definition inadmissible. The derivations do not appear to be in accordance with the structure of the Hebrew language (if the words be Hebrew); and the phrase, with this view of its derivation, has no grammatical construction. The Hebrews were accustomed to a species of inversion, which in our language has no parallel: for example, the great work of Jehovah would be inH ebrew JsiT an mn nrsJ a, literally, work of Jehovah the great.
