Freemasonry refers to the fraternal organizations that can trace their origins back to the stone masons of the thirteenth century. There are two primary groups within Freemasonry: Regular Freemasonry consists of the organizations that require a volume of scripture at the working lodge, and Continental Freemasonry, which does not have these requirements. Any issues with hinges or binding due to age or wear could provide an excellent opportunity for restoration and rebinding, if desired.
