Boubée also published ”Souvenirs maçonniques” and several other titles on freemasonry. The Rite of Misraim was constituted in 1805 by several masons who had been refused admission into the Supreme council of the Scot- tish rite. Others claim that the Rite of Misraim was founded already in 1782. It was established in Paris in 1814. It was however never recognized by the Grand Orient of France as a part of the masonry. Its rite consists of 90 degrees, divided into 4 series and 17 classes, mostly borrowed from the Scottish rite.

This rare pamphlet by the lodge ”La Constance” in Aix-la-Chapelle concerns the attacks against the freemasonry in Aachen 1779, which spread also to Aix-la-Chapelle. Two monks in Aachen, the dominican Louis Greinemann and a capucin, Schuff, accused the freemasons of atheism, fraud and other sins in their sermons. They also claimed that the entrance fee to a lodge was 30 silver coins, the award to Judas. Several de- fense tracts by freemasons against these accusations were published..

This is the main source to the teachings of the order and contains at the end chapters with questions and answers regarding alchemy and cabbala, and also an ”Anhang ueber die Nichtigkeit des Fesslerschen Reformation”. The famous occult 18th century order of the Asiatic Brethren was a freemasonic system founded in 1781 by Hans Heinrich Freiherr von Ecker und Eckhoffen, initially called ”Die Ritter von Licht”. The system had five levels and it was a reform of the Rosenkreuzers and had occult teachings. It stands out among the German masonic organizations of the time as it welcomed Jewish members, at least for a time, and was influenced both by Sabbatianism and by Frankism. Among its members was Charles of Hessen and Frederick VI of Denmark.

Their controversy attracted much attention among the freemasons. 16 FINDEL, J. G. Geschichte der Frei- maureri von der Zeit ihres Entste- hens bis auf die Gegenwart. Dritte Auflage.

Leo Tolstoy describes some of the rituals in his novel ”War and Peace”. As Emperor Alexander grew increasingly conservative, the Masonic-style political clubs were outlawed in 1822 and the interdict was extended by Nicholas I. Freemasonry was legalized and enjoyed a brief revival after the First Russian Revolution but the Bolsheviks had all the lodges closed in the wake of the October Revolution in 1917. The lodge "New Astrea" was established 1993 in St. Petersburg.

Kloss 1874 ”...this work is the armory from which all subsequent ene- mies of Freemasonry have derived their weapons”. First edition according to Wolfstieg but Kloss mentions an edition from 1746. Wolfstieg mentions six plates but the list of plates says 5. This toward the freemasonry very critical work was never published in latin, as the title suggests. It was very popular and six or seven editions were published up to 1778. This edition is the only one in which 16 other mockery titles intented to be published are mentioned in the preface. The list is in this copy crossed over with ink. In calling the book a sequel to ”L’ordre des Franc-Masons trahi”, which contains the text ”Les secret des franc-maçons” by Gabriel Louis Calabre Perau, Larudan has tried to connect his book that famous book by Perau. 32 (LAURIE, W.
