Moved content and added picture
Hi Josef, I moved your content to the English language side Talk:Projekt:The Secret School of Wisdom - and did some diting plus image upload. Time for Reinhard Markner to think of the German Version. I, of course, would be happy to have materials online, stuff that did not make it into the book but that is still to precious to be thrown away. Best --Olaf Simons (talk) 10:30, 21 April 2015 (CEST)

SK15 transcriptions

 * Hello, Olaf told me you need several transcriptions of documents from SK15. I already started with SK15-018 and will continue with SK15-074, SK15-080, SK15-084 and SK15-104/5 during the next days. Feel free to ask for further help at any time. Greetings from Gotha --Christian Wirkner (talk) 19:40, 5 May 2015 (CEST)
 * Additions from my side. I set some footnotes. I did not know, however, whether I should identify Hetzler as Johann Ludwig Hetzler von Lindenthal (alternative: Johann Georg Hetzler von Lindenthal) - and which of the Frankfurt Lodges the protocol is referring to. We are eager to open pages on all lodges we can get hold of... So, help with footnotes and brief articles on lodges and special terms wherever you can. --Olaf Simons (talk) 10:01, 6 May 2015 (CEST)

Hi Christian,

Thanks for your speedy help here. Looking at the transcriptions I think 74 and 80 will be the most useful. In my talk in Paris I am going over the Free Masonic degrees of the Order and identifying how the Eclectic Rite borrowed from and differed from the other systems extant at that time. These transcripts are useful in that they mention the variations explicitly. My thesis is that Knigge wrote the symbolic degrees as a variation from the ritual book from Zur Einigket in Frankfurt.

Best Wishes, Joe
