Abstract

The Constitutions of Anderson, the founding text of modern Freemasonry, went through the nineteenth century almost ignored by the Spanish brothers, who were generally indifferent to everything that came from English Freemasonry and usually reluctant to embrace the spiritualist discourses and legendary speeches of the Order. The text was not widely circulated until the twentieth century (1936) production of the Spanish edition, to which was added some of the antiquated Landmarks. However, its publication appeared too late, because that same year civil war broke out in Spain.
