Autorenporträt
Albert Gallatin Mackey (1807–1881) was a prolific American author, physician, and Freemason, highly regarded for his contributions to Masonic scholarship. Born on March 12, 1807, in Charleston, South Carolina, Mackey showed an early interest in the arts and sciences. He completed his medical degree at the College of Physicians and Surgeons of the University of the State of New York in 1830 and practiced medicine before committing his life to Freemasonry. A member of numerous Masonic lodges, his intellectually rigorous approach positioned him as an authority on Masonic ritual and symbolism. Mackey's passion for the fraternity and its history led to the creation of several foundational texts, including his renowned 'Manual of the Lodge' (1870), which meticulously dissects the procedures and ceremonies within the Masonic hierarchy. He extended his scholarly pursuits with the publication of 'The History of Freemasonry' and 'Encyclopedia of Freemasonry', forming an essential part of Masonic literature by providing an extensive look at the craft's origins, ethos, and operations. Mackey's literary style is characterized by meticulous research and a deep reverence for his subject matter, aiming to make the complexities of Masonic principles accessible to both the brothers of the order and interested outsiders. His writings continue to serve as a cornerstone for Masonic education and understanding.
