Synopsis

""A Dictionary of Secret and Other Societies"" by Arthur Preuss is a comprehensive book that provides an in-depth look into various secret societies, fraternal organizations, and other groups that have existed throughout history. The book is organized alphabetically, with each entry containing a detailed description of the group, its history, beliefs, practices, and notable members. The author covers a wide range of societies, from well-known groups such as the Freemasons and the Knights Templar to lesser-known groups such as the Carbonari and the Illuminati. Preuss also explores the origins and evolution of secret societies, as well as their influence on politics, religion, and culture. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of secret societies and their impact on society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Social history as a corrective to a historiography is often too limited to diplomacy and wars. It began an upward trajectory as early as the 1930s, but it remains constrained by the frustrating cost and availability of materials that even great research libraries lack. This volume is a case in point. Fraternal movements like Freemasonry have impacted society for hundreds of years. Yet, over time research into their undoubted influence has been handicapped by their codes of secrecy, arcane rituals, and the paucity of continuing tertiary research projects. As a step towards “more light” Westphalia Press has produced a number of scarce titles that will be helpful in understanding the “secret empire” of lodges, initiations, and (candidly) the deliberately inscrutable.
