Insight into the Masonic Mind Series

“We frequently see it called into question as to whether Pythagoras and his famous problem had really anything to do with the foundation of Freemasonry as the older writers on the subject claim. Personally he wrote nothing.
His principal chroniclers were Philolaus (BCE 370) and Iamblichus (A. 1). 340) . He is quoted and otherwise referred to by many others, and what we learn of his philosophy from these sources indicates that the “number philosophy” of the Gnostic sect of Marcionites strongly resembled it. A great revival of Pythagorean philosophy took place in Europe during the latter part of the 17th century, just at the period when Freemasonry began to attract public attention.”
