The Secret Instructions of the Society of Jesus is a book that contains a collection of documents that were allegedly written by the Jesuits, a Catholic religious order, in the late 16th and early 17th centuries. The book is anonymous and its authorship is unknown. The documents in the book are said to be instructions given to the members of the Society of Jesus, outlining their duties and responsibilities, as well as the strategies they should use to achieve their goals. The book has been controversial since its publication, with some claiming that it is a forgery or a hoax, while others believe that it is an authentic document that sheds light on the inner workings of the Jesuits. Regardless of its authenticity, The Secret Instructions of the Society of Jesus provides a fascinating glimpse into the history of one of the most powerful and influential religious orders in the world.1882. Herein is contained the most secret writings of the Jesuits! The text of the Secret Instructions of the Society of Jesus reproduced here was found beneath the pallet on an adobe bed in a cottage in the Andes Mountains of Peru about a century ago. A French archeologist had been sent into the Andes to probe the ruins. He had rented a room in a tiny village to use for the base of his operations. Once while he was away his room was rented to another overnight guest who happened to be a Jesuit official. On the Jesuit's departure he forgot a little book which he had hidden under the mattress. The archeologist accidentally found it. It was the Secret Instruction of the Society of Jesus, the top classified manual of procedure for the trusted leaders of the order. It was in Latin and bore the seal, signature and attestation of the General and Sec. of the Order in Rome. For the next few days the Frenchman labored furiously translating the work into French. He then replaced the book and left. The Jesuit returned a few days later inquiring nervously about his little black packet and also wanted to know if anyone had occupied the room since his departure. On learning of the archeologist he began a search so relentless that the Frenchman had to leave Peru. He finally reached San Francisco and entrusted his precious but dangerous burden to Edwin A. Sherman, Sec. of the Scottish Rite of Freemasonry in California. Mr. Sherman included the Secret Instructions in his book The Engineer Corps of Hell published in 1882.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
