Few Masonic documents have been debated, praised, maligned, studied and misunderstand more than the collection known as the Grand Constitutions of 1786. This is a photographic reproduction of Albert Pike's rare 1859 edition of the Constitutions of 1762 and the Grand Constitutions of 1786. This controversial work provides insight into the working of the Supreme Council, Southern Jurisdiction during the time of Pike. The foreword by Michael R. Poll, provides a logical examination of all claims concerning the 1786 Grand Constitutions. A must for any student of the Scottish Rite. Part of the Cornerstone Scottish Rite Education Series.
