ordersandmedals.ro Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Greetings! Hope there is no other topic on this subject, if there is, I ask the moderator to delete this one or to move the post. I would like to start a new topic for the collectors of masonic badges and medals. For start I'd like to recommend one of my favorites, the book of Trevor I. Harris - "The medals and jewels of British Freemasonry", probably well known for the British collectors. Those who don't know about this book, they should know that the book is hardcovered, has 140 pages and is fully illustrated. Well structured, great photos.

ordersandmedals.ro Posted February 10, 2012 Author Share Posted February 10, 2012 The second one is unknown for you, this was published in 2006 in Romania, with the contribution of the Ministry of Culture and Cults, The Romanian National Museum and....The Grand Orient of Romania. The name of the book is "Freemasonry Medals and Badges - History and Symbolism". Unfortunately the book is only in Romanian language, but is extremely well illustrated as you can see. The text is fabulous, presenting a history of the Freemasonry in the world and as well in Romania. I know that the links of the Romanian Freemasons and the Grand Lodge of England are not that tide, the Romanian Masonry is more connected with the French Masonry, despite of this the book is worthy. It has 210 pages (77 are illustrated), hardcover, A4 format. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It deals with world wide masonic insignia, well illustrated with text in Russian and English. Well worth getting a copy.

HenkWillem Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 "Clausen's commentaries on Morals and Dogma" also shows insignia (as drawings) of the different grades of the Scottish Rite. An online version of the book can be found on the website of the Masonic museum and libary of Phoenix: http://www.phoenixmasonry.org/clausens_commentaries/text.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
