Commentary
“Cette loge parisienne existe toujours au sein du Grand Orient de France (où elle porte le n° 3530, dans la numérotation officielle qui contrairement à ce qui se pratique dans d'autres Obédiences, n'a rien à voir avec la chronologie) et elle a fêté en 2005 ses 230 ans d’existence. La médaille (ci-dessus) frappée à l’occasion de son bicentenaire résume la richesse de cet héritage. Son avers reprend le premier sceau de la Loge primitive et son revers rappelle l’évolution de son titre distinctif à travers les différentes périodes (fleur de lys royale, abeille impériale, bonnet phrygien républicain) qu’elle a connues de l’Histoire de France.” Exemplaire non répertorié dans le Labouret.
Historical background
FREEMASONRY
The compass and the square are very often associated in an ambivalent symbol of balance: fixity and mobility, passive and active, matter and spirit.. The compass is the tool of the Creator and of the great Architect of the Universe. The spacing of the branches of the compass obeys precise rules and varies according to the three degrees: apprentice, companion, master. The Napoleonic era, in the activity of lodges as in that of many groups, saw a flowering after the terrible years of the revolutionary period. Masonic activity, rid of its republican theories and firmly controlled by a Grand-Master appointed by the Emperor, experienced a vigor in unity never found since.. It is considered that each regiment, each garrison, each city had its Lodge. The testimonies that the sumptuous tokens of the period leave us show that these lodges were rich and influential.. The symbolism is sought after, without comparison with the later eras, which were much more conventional, even bland or destitute at the beginning of the 20th century.. Freemasonry had more than a thousand lodges spread over one hundred and thirty departments and more than sixty thousand Brothers.
