The history as well as the character of this degree is a
very singular one. It is totally unconnected with the series of liissoial,
degrees sahich are founded upon the Temple of Solomon, and is traced to
the tower of Bahei. Hence the Prussian Knights cull ibemasivis

as Hiramites. or Disciples of Hiram. The early French rituals state that
the degree was transiated in 1757 from the German by. M de Bersic
