That Was Fast! New Francken Manuscript Edition Arriving Now

HOLY MACKEREL! 

Look what thudded onto my front doorstep this afternoon! This massive, brand, spankin' new facsimile reprint of the 1783 Francken Manuscript published in a glorious color edition by the Scottish Rite Northern Masonic Jurisdiction is a magnificent specimen of the book binding and printer's art. 

If you are interested in the development of Masonic degrees, and especially of the French Écossais degrees that made up the 4° through 25° system that eventually became the Scottish Rite in both Supreme Councils and around the world before they were revised in the mid-1800s, you need to suck it up and invest in this volume. It is the first and only authorized publication of this vital work, and all other cheap reproduction editions are flawed and incomplete. It is transcribed and footnoted on facing pages, and includes important historical background information as part of the foreword, as well.

Please support QUALITY Masonic book publishing, because editions like this are extraordinarily expensive to create. Many thanks to everyone in Lexington who made this happen. The price is $95 with free domestic shipping. Order directly from the Supreme Council-NMJ HERE.
