Description
Freemasonry is shrouded in a number of myths. According to the so-called Temple Legend, Freemasonry is derived from Hiram Abiff, the builder of Solomon's Temple; according to another hypothesis, the Freemasons sought to connect with the legacy of the Knights Templar, abolished in 1307. This historical line is traced in his book by Jiří Stibral, who mentions among the personalities he focuses on the brilliant Renaissance artist Leonardo da Vinci, J. A. Comenius, J. J. Rousseau, A. C. Balsam, and Count F. A. Špork. From more modern times, he includes F. L. Rieger, T. G. Masaryk, W. Churchill, and A. Mucha. What connected these well-known personalities and giants of the spirit? The mysterious and intangible world of the Order of Freemasons.
