NP: NP, 1939. 32mo, 23 pages, publisher's original black stapled wraps. A scarce 1939 official ritual manual issued by the United Supreme Council of Ancient Accepted Scottish Rite Masons of the 33rd Degree for the Southern and Western Jurisdiction of the United States of America and its Territories and Dependencies. Published as Consistory Series, No. 1 and designated “Official Secret Work,” the volume contains the complete opening and closing ceremonies for the Consistory, the ritual of the Thirty-Second Degree, and an officer’s guide for the proper conduct and presentation of the work. Intended for restricted internal use rather than general circulation, it offers a detailed record of Scottish Rite ceremonial practice, organization, and instruction within an important African American Masonic jurisdiction. An uncommon piece of twentieth-century Masonic ritual literature, particularly desirable for collections devoted to Scottish Rite Freemasonry, African American fraternal history, and official United Supreme Council publications. Some slight creases to wraps, previous owner's inscription, else in very good condition. Item #471
