I recently found a Pdf copy of Hamid Algar’s scholarly article entitled Introduction to the History of Freemasonry in Iran, Middle Eastern Studies, vol. 6. no. 3 (October 1970). Since I am very much interested in the subject as a whole, I uploaded the piece on my SCRIBD page, here. For years now I have been trying to locate the unabridged and unexpurgated version of Alaoddin Ruhani’s History of Iranian Freemasonry, but the complete version seems to be in very limited circulation. Instead an abridged (and I suspect largely censored and expurgated) version can be found virtually in any Persian bookstore outside of Iran. Has anyone seen or read the full version of this book? Does anyone know where the full version can be obtained to buy?
