Lima Masónica: Las logias simbólicas y su progreso en el medio urbano a fines del siglo XIX

Abstract

This article deals with the organization of the Grand Lodge of Peru, founded in 1882. Using Masonic publications and sources, it aims to establish the dynamics of its local lodges and to assess the character of Masonic activity in Peru at the end of the 19th century. Finally, it examines the political positioning of the Masonic leadership and its performance in the national political scene where it challenged Catholic exclusivity.
