Description
The Templars Selected Sources By Malcolm Barber and Keith Bate Manchester University Press, 2002 This collection of translated sources provides a unique insight into the origins, activities, and suppression of the Templar Order. Established in 1099, the Templars were a monastic order that played a significant role in defending the holy places of the Latin States in Palestine and Syria. The book examines various facets of the Order's activities during the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. The Templars' complex history is revealed through a range of translated sources, offering a valuable understanding of life within the Order and its interactions with both supporters and detractors. This comprehensive collection provides an essential resource for historians and scholars seeking to understand this enigmatic institution. No other book offers a complete collection of translated sources devoted entirely to the Templars.
