Présentation de l'éditeur
The Hebrew words np, Ci? lpandi-p, Kadush and Kadisli, meant Holy, Pure, Clean. Yehuali, the A ngels, and pious men were called QJ i Tlp, Kadushim, in the plural. Gesenius reads it Kbdascliim. With the definite article H, prefixed, 1lp meant the Holy Place or Sanctuary; and Qltlpn p, Kadush h Kadushim, meant the Holy of Holies, that is the Most Holy place. TI j Scdlcal, means a fine house, a palace or. Temple. Ci Ip72 n Saikal Kadush, the Holy House or Temple. There is no proof that the Templars who survived the destruction of the Order, were reorganized anywhere as Kadosh. In fact the Degree of that name cannot be traced back to the beginning of the 18th century. But when it was made, it assumed to be a revival of the Order of the Temple, and to conceal this pretension from those to whom it would have been odious if it had appropriated the name of the old Order, it took the name of Kadosh, as indicating its claim to be the successor of that Order. There is no real foundation, indeed, for the pretence that the Templars ever connected themselves with Freemasonry, which itself had no existence until, at the earliest, the. latter part of the 17th century. The Modern Orders called Templar, in France, Great Britain, and A merica, have not the least claim to be considered the successors or continuations of the ancient Order. And the Kadosh was, at first, probably a Hermetic Degree.

Présentation de l'éditeur
This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
