Egyptian Rite or Rite of Misraim (Venice 1801)

Oriental Rite or Rite of Memphis (Paris 1839)

The Rite of Misraim came from Venice at 1801 due to the efforts of Filalete Abraham (Byron Tassoni di Modena) and immediately spread into Italy and France.

The Oriental Rite of Memphis came at 1839 in Paris from Etienne Marconis. In the Archives of Sovereign Grand Sanctum of Adriatic (Superum) among other documents, three scrolls are kept that make restitution of the incipiencies and shunts of the two Rites whose merger was contributed to Marco Egidio Allegri’s own accord. He stood as Supreme Force of the Misraim of Venice at 1923 and also Grand Lineman Ad Vitam of the Memphis Rite at Palermo where he was later on put to sleep at 1925.

The information about these two Rites are a bit fractioned due to the historical inflexions that both Rites underlay, mostly the Rite of Misraim that in the course of time came across with the political power and authority of other Mason forces which having lost the true spirit of the Ancient Initiation, rendered elite clubs that could hardly accept the occurrence of an orthodox elite. These forces always tried to absorb the orthodox elite Rites in any way they could, obviously, so that they could restore their lost for ages traditional genuineness. Especially in Italy, the fights that were conducted in the 19th century from the Austrian Government in the Lombardy - Venice and other Governments of different states of the peninsula were very poisonous.
