Augustus Knapp. 12mo, xxiv, 100, [3] pages, publisher's original blue cloth covered boards. The Lost Keys of Freemasonry; or, The Secret of Hiram Abiff by Manly P. Hall is one of the author’s best-known early works on the esoteric, symbolic, and initiatory meaning of Freemasonry. Rather than a conventional Masonic handbook, Hall presents the Craft as a spiritual and philosophical system, interpreting the legend of Hiram Abiff, the building of Solomon’s Temple, the working tools, and the degrees of Masonry as allegories of inner transformation, moral discipline, and the search for divine wisdom. First published in 1923 and later revised, the book helped establish Hall’s reputation as a major 20th-century writer on occult philosophy, secret societies, Hermetic symbolism, mystery traditions, and comparative religion. This 1931 edition is an early and important form of the text, appealing to collectors of Manly P. Hall, Freemasonry, Masonic symbolism, esotericism, occult literature, and the Western mystery tradition.
