"Short History of the Masonic Rituals" by Șerban Eugen Savu is an English-language book that delves into the origins and development of Masonic rituals, beginning with the emergence of speculative Freemasonry in early 18th-century England. By 1751, English Freemasonry witnessed a significant reorganization, establishing two predominant factions: the "Moderns" and the "Ancients." The book highlights how the diversity of Masonic rituals reflects their global spread, even before 1731, when the English Masonic ritual was still forming. The distinctive elements introduced by French Lodges before 1813 mirror the rich French cultural and philosophical landscape, blending philosophical ideals, artistic sensibilities, and the values of liberty, equality, and fraternity. This work offers a balanced perspective on the complexity and allure of Freemasonry, emphasizing the importance of unchangeable elements in preserving Masonic heritage and exploring the unique features of various Masonic rites.
