Commentary


Malgré la référence dans Zirkel et l'usage, il semble peu probable que ce jeton ait un rapport, contrairement aux apparences, avec la Franc-Maçonnerie. On ne retrouve en effet aucun symbole directement spécifique et ce revers n'a jamais été utilisé avec un avers indiscutablement lié à l'ésotérisme. L'exergue est d'autre part trop explicite pour une société secrète qui, de plus, ne peut guère se reconnaître dans la devise.
Marc Labouret considère ces jetons comme de maçons opératifs.
Despite the reference in Zirkel and the usage, it seems unlikely that this token has a connection, contrary to appearances, with Freemasonry. We do not find any directly specific symbol and this reverse has never been used with an obverse indisputably linked to esotericism. The exergue is also too explicit for a secret society which, moreover, can hardly recognize itself in the motto. Marc Labouret considers these tokens as operative masons

Historical background


CORPORATIONS

In Rome, groups of artisans already existed: forming a college placed under the protection of a divinity, with a common house and fund. In medieval Europe, probably from religious brotherhoods, economic groups were formed between merchants called hanse or ghilde.. With the development of trade, craftsmen organized themselves into trade bodies or communities which brought together all those who practiced the same profession: masters, journeymen or apprentices.. To enter the body, you had to "swear" the profession. Alongside, there were free professions that could be practiced by all.. Each corps was headed by a collegial management responsible for enforcing the regulations of the trade, protecting the trade from competition and directing the mutual benefit society.. At the end of the 17th century, the king began to sell the functions of jurors and corporate trustees as hereditary offices, which led to serious financial difficulties at a time when the corporations no longer met the new economic requirements of the development of industry and business concentration. It is also in England that the corporations disappeared spontaneously because of the industrial revolution.. The corporations will be abolished in France in 1791 by the Constituent Assembly.
