LANCHIDI, Peter. Between judaism and Freemasonry: The dual interpretation of David Rosenberg’s Kabbalistic Lithograph, Aperçu de l’Origine du Culte Hébraïque (1841).Traduzido porAmanda Arteaga Arias. REHMLAC [online]. 2023, vol.15, n.1, pp.102-134. ISSN 1659-4223. http://dx.doi.org/10.15517/rehmlac+.v15i1.52767.
This article addresses a highly detailed and complex lithograph with the title Aperçu de l’Origine du Culte Hébraïque (An Overview of the Origin of Hebrew Worship), which was designed and executed in Paris in 1841 by a Hungarian rabbi, David Rosenberg. It explains the Kabbalistic meaning of the lithograph and its application to Freemasonry. Rosenberg’s endeavour will be analysed within the wider Masonic historical context. The probable reasons behind the reinterpretation of the lithograph from a Judaic into a Masonic work will be explored, thus also including Rosenberg’s possible personal motives. It will be argued that the rabbi used Kabbalah as a tool to gain higher recognition within the Masonic lodge.
