Hello Bros.

I am an English Freemason who is a scholar of the Craft and have, over the years, built an extensive collection of masonic books in electronic format, mainly pdf. I have put this collection together on a fileshare site so that like minded people can study our fraternity.

I have called it Count Cagliostro’s Masonic E-Library & you can find it at: https://www.4shared.com/dir/p98TYexm/sharing.html
You can also follow new uploads on Twitter using @JosephBalsamo.

The library currently holds over 2,000 masonic e-books and new ones are being added all of the time.

Please feel free to visit and download what you wish although I would advise that you do not try to download everything at once as this will overload the bandwidth restrictions set by the provider. This is a long term project, 3rd year, and I plan on building it for a long time to come so use it as you would your local library.
I have quite a few well known masonic authors of high regard using it for their research and have helped some with their work.

Kind regards & salutations

Thank you for the great work.

Bro M.

Ha Ha, the library hits the very magic figure of 2,222 files and to kiss irony full on the lips I just had to make the magic file an anti Masonic one;  the ultimate slap in the face of the conspiracy theorists has to be Eustace Mullins book- The Curse Of Canaan; happy days;-)

Also hit 175,000 downloads this evening; not bad for two years.

I hope you are all enjoying these books.

New catalogue of Count Cagliostro’s Masonic E-library available

Hi All,

Just a brief note to let you know that I have just uploaded a new catalogue of the contents of the Masonic E-library. The catalogue comes in 3 different formats hopefully to satisfy all needs.
There are now over 2,400 masonic and associated subject e-books freely available and several new folders.

Awesome stuff man. Going to be able to learn a lot more about the Craft now. Thank you.

Hi David,

The funny thing is the more you read the more you realise there is to learn. One good thing about having a broad tracing board is that you see how differently some authors see Freemasonry. Try comparing JSM Wards stuff to Carl Claudy or William Wilmshurst; you’d think that they are talking about completely different things. It is always entertaining to compare the Christian perspective authors to the more esoteric ones.

Keith

Brother that library is beyond amazing.
Words cant express the gratitude for that as I am a newly Raised Master Mason
and Im looking to enhance myself greatly through text
