This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1848 edition. Excerpt: ... Ancient times present us with no other society of any importance to which we can properly apply the term secret. The different sects of the Gnostics, who are by the fathers of the church styled heretics, were to a certain extent secret societies, as they did not propound their doctrines openly and publicly; but their history is so scanty, and so devoid of interest, that an examination of it would offer little to detain ordinary readers. The present volume is devoted to the history of three celebrated societies which flourished during the Middle Ages, and of which, as far as we know, no full and satisfactory account is to be found in English literature. These are the Assassins, or Isma'ilites, of the East, whose name has become in all the languages of Europe synonymous with murderer, who were a secret society, and of whom we have in general such vague and indistinct conceptions; the military order of the Knights Templars, who were most barbarously persecuted under the pretext of their holding a secret doctrine, and against whom the charge has been renewed at the present day; and, finally, the Secret Tribunals of Westphalia, in Germany, concerning which all our information has hitherto been derived from the incorrect statements of dramatists and romancers.* It is the simplicity of truth, and not the excitement of romance, that the reader is to expect to find in the following pages, --pictures of manners and modes of thinking different from our own, --knowledge, not mere entertainment, yet as large an infusion of the latter as is consistent with truth and instruction. * Since the present work was prepared, a translation of Von Hammer's History of the Assassins has been published by Dr. Oswald Charles Wood. THE ASSASSINS.* CHAPTER I. State of.

This is Thomas Keightley's history of three secret societies of the Middle Ages: the Assassins, the Templars and the Fehmgerichte. The Assassins was a shadowy group based in a remote stateless area, practicing a radical variant of Islam, and promising their followers a reward in the hereafter if they died in battle. This club has obvious modern parallels. Of interest also will be Keightley's treatment of the Templars, an organization of crusaders who at their height controlled huge wealth and influence from the British Isles to the Holy Land. They where the 1%-ers of their time. And the short section on the medieval German Fehm-gerichte is fascinating. This organization of secret tribunals in a lawless time had a reputation for hard and fast justice, much like the vigilantes of the American wild west.
