Étienne Morin: From the French Rite to the Scottish Rite offers a groundbreaking exploration of the origins of the Rose Croix or Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite. This comprehensive work delves into the life and contributions of Étienne Morin, the system's founder, drawing from all available Masonic records to present a meticulously reconstructed historical narrative.
The book reveals Morin's pivotal role in establishing Freemasonry in Saint Domingue, where he created a unique high degree system that functioned as a de facto Grand Lodge. Readers will gain insight into the symbolic rituals practised throughout the colony's existence and discover the origins of the widely-adopted Scottish Rite craft ritual. A highlight of this publication is the first-ever release of the complete surviving correspondence of the Order of the Sublime Princes of the Royal Secret in Saint Domingue, offering unprecedented access to primary sources.
