Fiat Lux

Volume One


Fiat Lux gathers twenty-five engaging articles which were previously published in the Philalethes journal. Each of them deservedly won the Society's Certificate of Literature award.

Covering topics such as Masonic history, biography, policy debates, international Freemasonry, science, and "time immemorial" legends, Fiat Lux, volume one has something for every Masonic reader.
