Rituale Massoneria [Manuscript] - Sixieme Grade Secrétaire Intime - 1800-1899

Manuscript Masonic Ritual – Sixth Degree “Intimate Secretary” Early 19th century Manuscript in French on laid paper, original binding in black heavily worn cardboard lined with paper, with rubbed spine and corners. Volume unbound, with some pages loose. Dimensions: about 27 × 21 cm. The codex contains the ritual of the Sixth Degree – Intimate Secretary, one of the higher degrees of the Scottish Rite. The traditional sections are clearly readable: • description of the Lodge and its decoration (Salle d’audience de Salomon), • opening and closing of works, • obligation and oath, • signs, pass-words and sacred words (Johaben, Jehova, etc.), • catechetical interrogation, • reception of the candidate with the symbolic participation of Solomon and Hiram King of Tyre. The work is placed at the beginning of the 19th century and represents an authentic document of the French Masonic tradition of the Scottish Rite. Ritual manuscripts of higher degrees, handwritten and intended for internal use within lodges, are today extremely rare on the antiquarian market, both due to the confidential nature of the content and the fragility of the support. Complete and legible copies like this constitute items of great collectible and historical-documentary interest. General condition: unbound, with loose sheets and wear typical of age, but the text is entirely legible.
