Survey of Literature of Freemasons’ Role in the History of Croatian Territories
Mladen Švab
Abstract
This work is done on the basis of all attainable literature giving data relevant for the history of Freemasonry in Croatian territories, in which - due to the missing of the studies of some periods of their activity - are inserted also the editions which border on collections of sources or printed material. This was the more necessary because materials for XVIIIth century particularly had been mostly destroyed in World War II - lost in the castle in Dégh in Hungary. The survey is done chronologically. The XVIIIth century is mostly written about, then comes the French period (Napoleon), after which there is a hiatus till the end of XIXth century. The literature covering XXth century and the period between the wars is more abundant. Last decades before the World War II are less dealt with, unless we take into consideration propaganda-literature during the occupation that to the history of Freemasonry in Croatian territories contributes no cubic blocks.
