The Story of the Ecossais Lodge of Toulouse by Gerry L. Prinsen is a historical account of the Ecossais Lodge, a Masonic lodge in Toulouse, France. The book details the origins of the lodge, its growth and evolution over time, and its significant contributions to the Masonic community in Toulouse and beyond. Prinsen provides a comprehensive analysis of the lodge's rituals, traditions, and practices, as well as its role in shaping the Masonic landscape in France. The book also explores the social and political context in which the lodge operated, including the impact of the French Revolution and the rise of anti-Masonic sentiment in the 19th century. Through extensive research and meticulous attention to detail, Prinsen offers readers a fascinating glimpse into the history of one of France's most influential Masonic lodges.The correspondence between the Ecossais lodge at Toulouse covers only two years, but provides very interesting insights regarding Masonry in the 18th century, revealing that in 1750 there was a High Degree body at Toulouse practicing either a Trinitarian Ecossais system of the Parisian Ecossais des Trois I.I.I. and we see how these were replaced by the �������Ancienne Maitrise' of Bordeaux. There followed a clearly non-masonic quarrel that originated in rivalry between actors of the Toulouse Opera! The return of the Grand Master, who had been absent, enabled the crisis to be resolved and the lodge's unity restored. There is also a letter revealing recruitment difficulties facing the lodge and requesting some statutory modifications; a fresh proof of the regard for regularity that determined the attitude of the Elus parfaits and their daughter lodges.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
