EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Precursors of Freemasonry: the Knights Templar" takes us back to the medieval era, offering a glimpse into the mysterious world of secret societies. Created by French School in the 19th century, this print is part of a private collection and was featured in Leo Taxil's book "Les Mysteres de la Franc-Maconnerie Devoiles" (The Mysteries of Freemasonry Revealed). In this scene, we witness a group of men adorned with crosses engaging in an intriguing ritual. Holding torches high, they gather around what appears to be a desecrated crucifix. The atmosphere is filled with both reverence and secrecy as these figures embody the enigmatic nature associated with Freemasonry. The image transports us to France during the Middle Ages when Christian values played a significant role in society. The Knights Templar were known for their dedication to Christianity and their involvement in various religious rites. This depiction offers insight into their connection to early freemasons and sheds light on their influence within secretive circles. Through intricate details and symbolism, this engraving invites viewers to explore the intersection between religion, mystery, and ancient rituals that have captivated minds throughout history. It serves as a reminder that even centuries later, we are still fascinated by these clandestine organizations and their impact on our collective imagination.
