Freemasonry is the largest, oldest, and most influential secret society in the world. The Brill Handbook of Freemasonry is a pioneering work that brings together, for the first time, leading scholars on Freemasonry. The first section covers historical perspectives, such as the origins and early history of Freemasonry. The second deals with the relationship between Freemasonry and specific religious traditions such as the Catholic Church, Judaism, and Islam. In the third section, organisational themes, such as the use of rituals, are explored, while the fourth section deals with issues related to society and politics - women, blacks, colonialism, nationalism, and war. The fifth and final section is devoted to Freemasonry and culture, including music, literature, modern art, architecture and material culture.

Mention the word Freemason and you are bound to get a reaction. Nobody is neutral on the subject - some people hold this ancient organization responsible for all the world's wrongs while others see it simply as a benign entity working for the common good. The Secrets of the Freemasons strips away the centuries-old layers of mystique and misunderstanding to offer an informed yet entertaining insight into the organization's origins, beliefs, practices and rituals. There's a look too at the many famous people who are or have been Freemasons - from Sir Winston Churchill to the Reverend Jesse Jackson. During its 800-year history, Freemasonry has been linked to scandalous acts of deceit, bribery, and even murder. With black-and-white illustrations throughout, The Secrets of the Freemasons examines the evidence behind the allegations and comes to its own definitive conclusions, while providing a straight-talking appraisal of Freemasonry's continuing influence.

A noted musicologist looks at the eighteenth-century composer’s connection to Freemasonry and its profound influence on his music. Speculative masonry was a pervasive intellectual force in eighteenth-century European society. Like many of his colleagues, as well as his father before him, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart joined a Masonic lodge in 1784. The philosophy and symbolism of the Masons would be a major source of inspiration for his compositions from then on. This book provides an overview of Mozart’s relationship to the fraternity and a detailed account of the numerous pieces he wrote specifically for Lodge events or ritual, as well as the many pieces adapted by others for Lodge use. It also includes an in-depth explanation of Mozart’s opera “The Magic Flute” and its Masonic themes and imagery.

To readers familiar with Lars Gustafsson's work, the playful philosophizing of Sigsmund will come as no surprise, as he leisurely pulls together seeming fragments into a narrative of 1970s Berlin that at once looks back to Homer, Dante, and the Faust legend and ahead to space warfare and intergalactic travel, childhood memories of Sweden, Marxist-Leninism, sports competition, art, epistemology, daydreams--nothing is excluded from the purview of Gustafsson's lighthearted humanism. And behind it all broods the restless spirit of the author's alter ego, the warring king, Sigismund III of Poland (d. 1632).
