Discussion and Research
| THE TEMPLE OF KING SOLOMON |
| The problem is that the quotations are all taken from the Authorised Version of the Bible, known to the iIIiterati as the King James Version. This translation was published in 1611. It is in many ways a most remarkable work, which gives the lie to the theory that nothing good can come from a committee..
|
| There are many references to King Solomon’s Temple in our Rituals. Some of these are Biblical quotations, some are Masonic Traditions. In the case of the latter there is often good reason to ask whether they have any factual basis, but also, in some quotations there is good reason to doubt the accuracy of the Biblical translation. |

| A mystery within a mystery |
| A couple of years ago I was charged with looking into the mystery of who was Mark Mendoza, a name that is inscribed on one of our Past Masters collars. Our history stretches back to 1871 and while we have a good record of many of our past masters some of our members are a mystery.
