Abstract: Thomas Şindilariu addresses a less researched and quite often neglected topic in the Transylvanian historiography: freemasonry during the eighteenth century . Apparently, the title would suggest that the author deals with a case study, local history, or a certain episode of the Transylvanian Saxon culture. But its content reveals a different model of analysis: an epoch and local contextualization, as Şindilariu briefly introduces the reader into the eighteenth century. Thus, in the beginning, he explains what the major changes in the Habsburg Monarchy were, i.e. the reforms during the Enlightenment, the integration of the Principality into the monarchy, and certainly the profile of Masonry lodges in Vienna and Hungary. Additionally, this introduction would help the reader to better understand the role of Masonry in the eighteenth century, when for instance Maria Theresa outlawed it, or Emperor Leopold II adopted a quite “strict” supervision of it. | |||||||
