This edition was limited to 26 signed and lettered copies. This scholarly work is one of three works by Michael Homer dedicated to Mormon and Masonic parallels. "Both Masons and Mormons practiced similar temple rituals, which they claimed were originally practiced in Solomon's Temple endowing initiates with light and knowledge to prepare them for celestial glory. The Premier Grand Lodge in England has always excluded women. Consistent with the Masonic model, Joseph Smith included only men when he introduced his Mormon temple ritual in Nauvoo." - p.2
