What are the degrees in Memphis Misraim?

updated 1 of 5 degreesRite of Memphishigher degrees

The Rite of Memphis originally contained ninety-five degrees, beginning with the three Craft degrees and structured into three series, though these were reconfigured and renamed at different periods 1. Other historical variants of the Memphis system expanded to ninety-six or ninety-seven degrees under a Grand Hierophant 1.

When re-organized into the Ancient and Primitive Rite, the system was reduced and its degree structure renumbered; for instance, the degree of Knight of the Red Eagle, which held the 24th position in the Rite of Memphis, was assigned as the 12th degree in the reduced Ancient and Primitive Rite 2. When the Grand Orient of France annexed and absorbed the Rite of Memphis, it restricted the system entirely, stipulating that lodges under its jurisdiction could only confer the three symbolic degrees of Apprentice, Fellow Craft, and Master 1.

The library passages do not provide a complete catalog or full list of all individual degree titles across the ninety-five or ninety-seven degrees of the system.
