The Liturgies of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry is an essential resource for Freemasons seeking to deepen their understanding of the Scottish Rite and its rich tradition of symbolism and ritual.Parts 2-4 Fourth Degree - Thirtieth Degree. This massive work includes ALL the Scottish Rite ""Liturgies"" (monitors) prepared for the current rituals of the Supreme Council Thirty-third Degree, SMJ. Lavishly illustrated with diagrams of the aprons, jewels and symbols of the degrees, the texts of these works contain verbatim extracts from the current rituals of the Scottish Rite. Some portions of these books (such as the ""Lecture and History"" of the Thirteenth Degree) are not even included in the official rituals. Extremely interesting and informative, students of the rituals may compare this work with the Magnum Opus to trace the evolution of the degrees.
