Regius Manuscript: The Earliest Masonic Document is a book written by Frederick M. Hunter that explores the history and significance of the Regius Manuscript, which is considered to be the oldest known Masonic document. The manuscript was written in Middle English in the early 15th century and contains a series of allegorical poems that describe the history and principles of the craft of stonemasonry. The book provides a detailed analysis of the Regius Manuscript, including its context within the history of medieval English literature and its relevance to the development of modern Freemasonry. It also examines the manuscript's themes and motifs, such as the importance of moral and ethical behavior, the role of the master mason, and the symbolic meaning of various tools and symbols used in the craft. In addition to its historical and literary analysis, Regius Manuscript: The Earliest Masonic Document also includes a facsimile of the manuscript itself, as well as a transcription and translation of the text. This makes the book an invaluable resource for anyone interested in the history of Freemasonry, medieval literature, or the development of English language and culture.The Beginnings of Anglo-Saxon Masonry and Masonic History as an Ever-widening Road to Freedom.
