Title: International Masonic Periodicals: 1738-2005
Description: This is a companion bibliography to Watkins' American Masonic Periodicals 1811-2001, published in 2003 by the same publishers. This work completes the catalogue of periodicals in the Library of the Supreme Council in Washington, D.C., one of the largest Masonic libraries in the world. A total of 555 non-American periodicals from Algeria to Yugoslavia are listed here, with an illustration of the publication, an explanatory excerpt, and a detailed list of the holdings in the library. The listings start in 1738 with 51 issues of Der Freymäurer of Leipzig and continue through 2005. This wide-ranging work joins with Watkins' first volume and Walgren's two-volume bibliography to make the foundation of a thorough understanding of Masonic publications. It is another "must-have" for Masonic libraries, collectors, and students of Masonic literature. Co-published with the Library of the Supreme Council.
