The correspondence between the Ecossais lodge at Toulouse covers only two years, but provides very interesting insights regarding Masonry in the 18th century, revealing that in 1750 there was a High Degree body at Toulouse practicing either a Trinitarian Ecossais system of the Parisian Ecossais des Trois I.I.I. and we see how these were replaced by the 'Ancienne Maitrise' of Bordeaux. There followed a clearly non-masonic quarrel that originated in rivalry between actors of the Toulouse Opera! The return of the Grand Master, who had been absent, enabled the crisis to be resolved and the lodge's unity restored. There is also a letter revealing recruitment difficulties facing the lodge and requesting some statutory modifications; a fresh proof of the regard for regularity that determined the attitude of the Elus parfaits and their daughter lodges.
This ritual is presented in the form of a restored facsimile, a corrected French transcription and an English translation of that used by the 'Parfaite Loge d'Ecosse' of the Elus Parfaits of Bordeaux. It was dated 1750 according to documents in the Sharp collection, and concerns a variation in ten degrees of the 'Ancienne Maitrise.' It is therefore a Solomonic ritual, comprising a long account in the course of which the candidate is informed of the degrees of Apprentice, Fellow-Craft, Master, Secret Master, Perfect Master, Secretary or Master by Curiosity, Provost and Judge, Intendant of the Buildings and master elect of Nine. Its historical importance is of the essence as the Elus parfaits were chronologically the first Ecossais authority of the High Degrees.
Mirecourt's collection consists of hand written rituals, mainly containing material prior to 1760. Due to its importance, several publications have been devoted to it. Latomia 70 regroups, in French transcription with a Dutch translation, the booklets containing the rituals of Fendeur du Devoir; Perfect Master; Small Elect; Apprentice, Fellow, Ecossais Master, and Grand Ecossais de Montpellier; English Master; and Knight of the East. Latomia 80 similarly brings together Knight of the West; Sublime Ecossais; Worshipful Master of Lodges; Apprentice, Fellow and Master Architect; Knight of Rose-Croix; Grand Inspector Grand Elect C K S; and Sublime Philosopher. These represent some sort of system but some of the rituals, for instance Grand Inspector Grand Elect, have only the Lecture. It should be noted that this last document has been "updated" in a different hand by the insertion of the word Kadosh in various places. The antiquity of the originals can be judged by the document comprising Apprentice, Fellow and Master Ecossais; these rituals are practically identical to those used in Lille in 1749.
This books contains volumes one and two of the original book. These rituals have most probably been in use in an irregular lodge of colored people at Port de Paix, San Domingo. The lodge being situated in an isolated area of the island, there has been no updating of the rituals, a usual procedure during the 18th century. The collection therefore represents a very old version of the ritual, copied around 1785 to serve for the newly erected lodge at New Orleans in 1794. An introduction gives the results of the historical research.
This volume begins with he Constitutions and original Statutes of the Ordre des Chevaliers Hospitaliers et Militaires de Saint-Jean de Jerusalem, written about 1743. After these come the letters addressed to the Elus Parfaits by Bro. Lamolere de Feuillas, in 1746; the famous 1750 letter of Petit du Boulard; copies of letters sent by Dupin Deslezes to Rousillon; and a report dated 1754 on the installation of an Architecture lodge at Bordeaux, which showed that the Elus Parfaits knew of the Architect degrees only at a late date. In addition there is a very curious document written partly in Hebrew, and the very moving draft of an address given by a Grand Master on leaving the Chair.
This comprises correspondence addressed to the Elus parfaits at Bordeaux by the brethren of Saint-Pierre de la Martinique. A large part is concerned with he events linked with he creation of the Parfaite Loge d'Ecosse of Saint-Pierre, and to the enmity that arose between two rival factions. It has been possible to recreate the original of the Sharp document 30, lost in America but of which the Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris has a very poor copy.
In an unexpected way the first volume of the well known collection 'Maconnerie des Hommes' came to light. as the first degrees of the subsequent Rite of Perfection are comprised in this volume, it is important to take note of these rituals and compare them with others. This part also contains 34 water color paintings of the same quality as the others. They are presented here as line drawings. As will be observed the title of this first volume differs from that on the back of the other volumes, which points to the fact that this part was edited a long time before the other volumes.

This volume contains letters sent from Santo Domingo to the Elus parfaits at Bordeaux and copies of some of their replies. There is also the Patent granted to Lamolere de Feuillas on December 24, 1752 which made him a true Masonic proconsul; and letters from the lodge Saint-Jean de Jerusalem Ecossaise at Cap-Francais, the Parfaite Loge d'Ecosse in Saint-M arc, and the superior bodies founded by Morin in Les Cayes. The rivalry between Morin and Lamolere de Feuillas shows up quite clearly.
