5.0 out of 5 stars Great book for the beginner in History of the Knights Templa, August 22, 1998
By A Customer
This book is full of history of the Order of the Knights Templar. Addison goes into some deep history of the Templars and the Times they lived in right up to the supression of the order. He also sets up a basis for the fact that the Templars did not all 'go away' after thier supression but lived on in countries where Phillip and Pope Clement V could not touch them. This book is great to start on your journey to find the truth about this order of Knights.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good referance, shoddy publication, January 13, 1999
By A Customer
The text, dating from 1842, is interesting and informative, especially for beginners. The publisher, however, should be embarrassed at the typos, third grade grammar and syntax in the introduction. Makes the bookseem like one published by some wierd fringe group.

2.0 out of 5 stars Tedious, February 13, 2003
By Harold Goodholm (Grand Junction, CO United States) - See all my reviews
I am a History buff, and am interested in learning more about little known subjects, such as the Templars, and can enjoy reading any history provided the author can generate reader interest in his subject matter, which Mr. Addison has failed to do for me. The profusion of Latin words & phrases without any attempt at translation deprives the reader of the subjects substance. The subject matter is, or can be, fascinating, however the stultifying and the excessive use of foreign phrases detracts from the narrative. Also, a book of history should include an Index, & a biblioghaphy. This book does not include either!
