EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Precursors of Freemasonry: the Assassins" takes us back to the mysterious world of the Middle Ages. Created by a French School artist in the 19th century, this print is an illustration for Leo Taxil's book "Les Mysteres de la Franc-Maconnerie Devoiles" (The Mysteries of Freemasonry Revealed). Intriguing and enigmatic, it depicts a group of men who are believed to be precursors to the secretive society known as Freemasons. Dressed in medieval attire, these figures exude an aura of secrecy and power. The engraving hints at their connection with Islamic culture, as they are associated with the Ismailis sect. The Assassins depicted here were not mere killers but rather members of a religious order that emerged during the Crusades. Their influence extended beyond political assassinations; they were also known for their deep knowledge and esoteric practices. Through this artwork, we catch a glimpse into one aspect of French history and its fascination with secret societies during that time period. It invites us to delve into centuries-old mysteries surrounding freemasonry and its origins. With intricate details and expert craftsmanship, this print from Bridgeman Images captures our imagination while reminding us that there is still much left undiscovered about these clandestine organizations from centuries past.
