“Masonic Beginnings in the Code of Hammurabi” by Frank Ida

“Masonic Beginnings in the Code of Hammurabi”

The Code of Hammurabi, a collection of laws and decrees created by the Babylonian king Hammurabi around 1754 BC, is one of the oldest and most complete legal texts from the ancient world. While not directly related to the origins of Freemasonry, the Code's emphasis on justice, order, and social responsibility resonates with the principles of the fraternal organization.
