Synopsis

A Dictionary of Secret and Other Societies by Arthur Preuss is a comprehensive guide to the various secret societies that have existed throughout history. The book provides detailed information on the origins, beliefs, and practices of these organizations, as well as their impact on society and culture. The author covers a wide range of secret societies, including religious groups, political organizations, and fraternal orders. The book also includes entries on lesser-known secret societies, such as the Assassins, the Illuminati, and the Rosicrucians. Each entry provides a brief history of the society, its structure and hierarchy, and its most notable members. The book is written in an accessible style and is an invaluable resource for anyone interested in the history of secret societies and their influence on the world.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.
