The Ancient & Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry. Charles Sumner Lobingier, 33°, GC

The Ancient & Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry. Charles Sumner Lobingier, 33°, GC

I'm enjoying "The Ancient & Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry" by Charles Sumner Lobingier, 33°, GC. This was a Bonus Book from the Scottish Rite Research Society, mailed out to members last year.



This extremely interesting and rare work is a type of pre-history of the Scottish Rite, and was published a year after Lobingier’s The Supreme Council, 33 appeared in 1931. The present work was somewhat controversial, because it attempts to explore the esoteric and philosophical undercurrents (including Kabbalah) which contributed to the formation of the Scottish Rite.

Ill. Lobingier was Professor of Law at the University of Nebraska. He served as a Judge of the United States Court for China in Shanghai, a Special Assistant U.S. Attorney, a lawyer for the Securities and Exchange Commission and a legal adviser to the U.S. Military government of Korea. He was elected to the Thirty-third Degree in 1913, and received the Grand Cross of Honour in 1925. He served as Deputy first for the Philippine Islands, and later for China.

Includes a complete facsimile of the original edition, with reproductions of all the illustrations.

Hardbound (7" x 1- 1/4"); illustrated; 166 pages

Cerneauism and American Freemasonry. Scottish Rite Research Society. Arturo de Hoyos. S Brent Morris. Art by Travis Simpkins

Cerneauism and American Freemasonry, the latest book from the Scottish Rite Research Society, was published this week.

Cerneauism is certainly a controversial subject in Masonic history, but a fascinating chapter nevertheless, and essential to understanding the development of the Scottish Rite in America.

I’m happy to have three portraits included in the new book, including the frontispiece likeness of Joseph Cerneau as well as portraits of the editors: Arturo de Hoyos, 33°, GC and S. Brent Morris, Ph.D., 33°, GC.

The portrait of Cerneau was made a few years ago and originally appeared in Heredom, Vol. 25.

The Plumbline. Scottish Rite Research Society. A Conversation with Travis Simpkins

The Plumbline. Scottish Rite Research Society. A Conversation with Travis Simpkins

Thanks to the Scottish Rite Research Society!

     Back in January, I had a conversation with Dr. Michael Pearce, Professor of Art at California Lutheran University. A transcription of that interview is the subject of the latest issue of The Plumbline (Spring, 2020. Vol. 27, No. 1).
     This quarterly bulletin is generally reserved for formal academic papers, so I’m honored that anything I had to say was viewed as being worthy of publication.

And it’s nice to see my oil portrait of SGC David A. Glattly, 33° included on the cover.
