‎Textes fondateurs de la Tradition maçonnique 1390-1760 Traduits et présentés par Patrick Négrier‎

‎Ce recueil est le premier à réunir en langue française de la diversité des textes fondateurs, anglais et français, de la Tradition maçonnique. Conçu comme une introduction à la pensée de la Franc-Maçonnerie primitive (1390-1760), il rassemble 16 textes majeurs qui ont contribué, chacun pour sa part, à fixer et à enrichir au fil des siècles les éléments de l'identité maçonnique.Cette anthologie constitue, par a variété des textes fondateurs qu'elle réunit, un document objectif, indispensable comme tel pour la connaissance des origines historiques de l'institution maçonnique, et pour la détermination exacte et précise du contenu de la pensée de la Franc-maçonnerie des origines.‎

Fragments of sculptures in terracotta have in fact been found in the archaeological excavations carried out in the region of Jema. These fragments cover the period from 500 B.C to 100 A.D. ; the dates being obtained through Carbon-14 testing. Most of the pieces brought to light are heads belonging to sculptures of over a metre in height; but none has been found whole. Nok art shows a remarkable perfection of style and technique, but since there are no earlier examples both their origin and their evolution still remain a mystery. According to William B. Fagg, artefacts prior to the Nok civilization might have been made of clay or wood and therefore they may have been destroyed without trace in the course of time. New forms of art are only to be found a thousand years later, still in Nigeria, where the Ife civilization fourished. Ife is also the name of the religious centre and the residence of the spiritual head of the Yoruba, called the Oni. To him we owe the establishment of the court art - this is Ife art. It reached its highest level from the X to the XIII century and then declined slowly until its extinction in the XVIII century. Still according to William B. Fagg, Ife art has roots in Nok art, but only in so far as the terracotta is concerned; for Ife art, apart from terracotta, also makes use of iron, stone and, in a masterly fashion, bronze; Ife masterpieces are in fact head-portraits in terracotta and bronze In the XII century, the son of the Oni, Eweka, founded the Kingdom of Benin in Benin, and the town was chosen as the residence of the Oba, King of the Bini, who belong to the ethnic group of the Edo. Towards the end of the XIII century, the Oba asked the Oni of Ife to send him an artist specializing in bronze-casting. Igueba was sent to him, and he is still considered today the greatest bronze-caster of Benin. Benin art has left an exceptional testimony in bronze, terracotta, ivory, wood and iron. There have been many theories about this art, one of these attributes the technical and iconographical development to the influence of the Portuguese, who imported the raw materials, copper, in the form of armbands called "manillas", which the Portuguese merchants traded for slaves. The bronze plaques which clad the Oba 's palace appear to have been of a size copied from the pages of Portuguese books illustrated with vrints. Furthermore, the bronze plagues were made between the XVI and the XVII century, and the arrival of the Portuguese in Benin was en 1472. Benin art is distinguished for its refinement of style and elegance, evident in the ivory masks, in the commemorative bronze heads of the Obas. in the enaraved ivoru tusks that surmounted them, in the portrayal of members of the court, such as flute-players, drummers, horsemen and Portuguese soldiers; and in animals like leopards, cocks and various birds. The classical period of Benin art can be dated frou the XVI to the XVIII century; the late period dates from the end of the XVIII century to the end of the XIX century. There is still a production of Benin art today, but with purely commercial aimst it has completely lost the style which marks true Benin Art. Another ancient civilization existed in the region of Lake Chad, with the peak of its development in the region of the Chari delta : this is the Sao civilization. It originated in the VII century and disappeared in the XII century, leaving as its artistic legacy statuettes and heads in terracotta, with very approximative and rudimentary features, roughly outlined figures with large eyes (like coffee beans) and big lips. These figures and heads were put in jars, also made of terracotta, used as sarcophagi for the burial of the dead. Minor examples of bronze-casting are limited to armbands and necklaces. The heirs of this civilization are the present-day Kotoko. The last ancient civilization is the mysterious 2imbabwe. Accordinq to some scholars, this civilization can be dated between the XI centuru and the middle of the XV century. There is not sufficient data to discover who inhabited the town of Zimbabwe with its cyclopean walls. There remain only a few findings portraying bird-men and birds carved in soastone, Persian ceramics and Chinese porcelain. Perharps one day we will know who these mysterious Africans were. Here ends the survey of ancient African civilization to make way for traditional African Art, which developed in the regions of West, Central and Equatorial Africa. The artistic outline of the various ethnic groups is limited to the pieces which make up the collection I am presenting. " (Vorwort)‎
