Masons' Marks by Robert Freke Gould is a comprehensive study of the marks made by stonemasons on the stones they worked on during the medieval period. The book explores the history and significance of these marks, which were used to identify the work of individual masons and to ensure that they were paid for their work. Gould delves into the different types of marks used by masons, including symbols, letters, and numbers, and explains their meanings and origins. He also discusses the various techniques used to make these marks, such as chiseling, punching, and carving. In addition to providing a detailed analysis of masons' marks, the book also includes illustrations and photographs of examples from across Europe. Gould also explores the broader context of medieval stonemasonry, discussing the tools, techniques, and materials used by masons, as well as the social and economic conditions that shaped their work. Overall, Masons' Marks is an invaluable resource for anyone interested in medieval stonemasonry, architectural history, or the history of craftsmanship. It provides a fascinating glimpse into the world of medieval masons and their intricate and highly skilled work.THIS 20 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: History of Freemasonry Its Antiquities, Symbols, Constitutions, Customs Part 1, by Robert Freke Gould.
