Bag om Elias Ashmole

Elias Ashmole: England's Masonic Pioneer is a biography written by Dudley Wright that delves into the life and legacy of Elias Ashmole, a prominent figure in the history of Freemasonry in England.

The author provides a detailed account of Ashmole's initiation into the Masonic fraternity, his involvement in the creation of the Grand Lodge of England, and his contributions to the development of Masonic ritual and symbolism.
