No prior complete English translation of this text has been found.
Extensive searches across multiple library catalogs (including Library of Congress, Internet Archive, and scholarly databases) confirm the existence of several French editions of Louis Guillemain de Saint-Victor's 'Recueil précieux de la maçonnerie adonhiramite' (1783, 1785, 1787). However, no English translation—complete or partial—was found in any of these catalogs. The work is frequently cited in Masonic bibliographies, but only in its original French language.
