Review
"A book we have been waiting for, a terrific, entertaining read backed by solid scholarship . . . Fascinating." --Umberto Eco --This text refers to the Paperback edition.
From the Back Cover
A new history of the medieval world's most powerful military order, the Templars--and
the momentous discovery that finally allows the full story to be told.
At its height, the Order of the Knights Templar rivalled the kingdoms of Europe in military
might, economic power, and political influence. But what was most fascinating about the
Templars was the cloak of mystery that surrounded them; the rumours of heresy, blasphemy,
and wanton immorality that swirled around these warriors of God and heralded their
dramatic end. The mystery persisted for hundreds of years because the transcript of their
leadership's trial by the Inquisition was missing.
Templar historian Barbara Frale was studying a document at the Vatican Secret Archives
when she suddenly realised that it was none other than the long-lost transcript. Known as
the Chinon Parchment, it revealed that Pope Clement V had absolved the Templars of all
charges of heresy. Using this new information, Frale lifts the veil on one of the world's most
intriguing secret societies--including the scandalous details of the order's initiation
ceremony--and chronicles the Templars' spectacular rise and fall against a sweeping
backdrop of war, religious fervour, and the struggle for dominance. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.
