This is the first book in the English language to reconstruct 18th century Traditional Egyptian Freemasonry. Far from the modern Rite of Memphis-Misraïm, with its 20th century eclecticism and incomplete High Degrees, this book unfolds a complete initiatory system as it was intended to be practiced by its founders: the Prince di Sangro, the Baron Tschoudy, Cagliostro, and Marc Bédarride. It includes: -A critical history and assessment of Egyptian Freemasonry as it exists today, including the Arcana Arcanorum -An analysis of the original meaning of Egyptian in the context of 18th and 19th century Freemasonry -For the first time in English, workable translations and reconstructions of 18 important 18th century Hermetic Egyptian Degrees, including the Tschoudy High degrees, the degrees of Cagliostro and original Misraïm degrees from Bédarride, all based on careful comparisons of the earliest versions -A reconstruction of the traditional spiritual practices based on historical evidence, including Ethical, Devotional, Theurgical and Alchemical methods -Translations of other important degrees which lead to a more accurate understanding of the history of Egyptian Freemasonry, including the first ever translations of the original Misraïm 62nd Very High Very Puissant Grand Priest Sacrificer Degree and 77th Grand Inspector General Regulator Degree, as well as new translations of the Naples-Joly Rite and the Bédarride-Paris Rite versions of the Arcana Arcanorum
