"A Poem of Moral Duties"
"A Poem of Moral Duties"
The text of the Regius Manuscript states that Freemasonry was brought to England during the reign of King Athelstan from 924 to 939 but this connection was not realised until 1840 when it was translated and featured in an article on Freemasonry by James Halliwell.
Some of the Old Charges in these ancient documents that have come down to us date from the 14th century. Some of their rules, legends, and regulations are now incorporated into traditional Masonic history.
Normally these documents are in the form of handwritten paper and parchment rolls, each one comprised of hand-written sheets which have been sewn or pasted together or bound in book form.
Incorporated into the Minute Books of lodges some of these Old Manuscripts range from 1390 until 1714. While a few are in Gothic script, most are in the British Museum, United Grand Lodge of England and the Masonic Library of West Yorkshire, England.
