Victor Hugo dominated literary life in France for over half a century, pouring forth novels, poems, plays, and other writings with unflagging zest and vitality.

BICRES II (covering the 1601–1700 period) followed in 1999 and BICRES III (including period 1701-1800) was published in 2005. Now, the fourth volume, arranged according to the same principles as those guiding the...

Volume 1 Alla proto-massoneria di tipo operativo si sovrappose nella Napoli del Settecento un istituto, introdotto da mercanti francesi di religione calvinista, che adottò il sistema speculativo dei Moderns inglesi. Di conseguenza iniziò, dalla metà del secolo in poi, un aspro conflitto tra le varie potenze latomiche estere per il predominio sulla fratellanza meridionale. Austria, Francia, Germania, Inghilterra e Paesi Bassi si affrontarono, senza esclusione di colpi, al fine di ottenere concreti e positivi risultati sull'economia e sulla politica delle Due Sicilie. Un gruppo di coraggiosi fratelli riuscí a sottrarsi ad ogni tentativo egemonico costituendo una Gran Loggia Nazionale, orgo...
