The Templars: Selected Sources [Paperback]

Malcolm Barber (Author), Keith Bate (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: October 11, 2002 | Series: Manchester Medieval Sources

The Templars were members of a medieval monastic order, later accused of denying Christ and other heresies. The Order was subject to a torturous inquisition period during the 14th century and ultimately dissolved. This is a unique collection of translated sources, which in addition to documenting the origins of the Order and the circumstances of its suppression and dissolution, examines the many and varied facets of its activities during the 12th and 13th centuries. It will be of interest to anyone interested in the medieval period, and is an invaluable source for those wanting to find out more about this most fascinating and enigmatic of institutions.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"The book comprises a very substantial collection of translated material illustrative of its history. The introduction is lucid and beautifully written, and the collection will be an asset for third-year courses at universities." --Professor Jonathan Riley-Smith, Cambridge University
