It's fairly accurate in names and events, but compacted and very lacking in interest. If you happen to need a short (125 page) study guide whilst cramming for an exam on the Templars, then this book is for you. ( )
Šon Martin, poznati istoričar i autor, stručnjak za srednjevekovne gnostičke kultove, daje osvrt kako na ortodoksnu tako i na alternativnu verziju mita koji se ispleo oko templara, uključujući tu i poslednja otkrića iz vatikanske biblioteke. Vitezovi templari slove za najmoćniji ratnički i spiritualni red srednjeg veka. Tokom sedam stoleća svog postojanja oni su izvršili jedinstven uticaj na evropsku istoriju. Ortodoksni istoričari ne vide u njima ništa više do ratnike-monahe, čiji red se, na kraju krajeva, urušio usled sopstvene arogancije, dok ih, s druge strane, istoričari koji se ne drže ortodoksnog pravca, smatraju za prvorazredne okultiste, osnivače masonerije, posednike svetog grala i tvorce torinskog pokrova. Belongs to Series
The Templars have exerted a unique influence over European history: orthodox historians see them as nothing more than soldier-monks whose arrogance was their ultimate undoing, while others see them as occultists of the first order, the founders of Freemasonry, possessors of the Holy Grail and creators of the Turin Shroud. Sean Martin considers both the orthodox and conspiratorial version of events, and includes the latest revelations from the Vatican Library. No library descriptions found.
