The statement implies it was founded in 1790, but English Lodges first admitted they existed beginning in 1717.

The Regius Manuscript is purported to be the oldest written Masonic document. It is said to have dated to about 1390.

I have studied the matter and my opinion is that it predates 1300 by a considerable period.

Oral traditions (not written) have always been the method of transmission of Freemasonry.

Thank you for the info!


Oral traditions (not written) have always been the method of transmission of Freemasonry. This seems to be the SAME on MORMONism. Their secret oops! SACRED Temple Rituals are NOT to be found in ANY of the things they consider SCRIPTURE, so THEY must be passed on the same way...

He’s correct. If wasn’t stuck typing on my cell I could give further help to Texas Fossil with other links.

We’ll visit this subject again this year.
