Vatican Archive Yields Templar Secrets

The BBC has this story on the release of documents from the Vatican Secret Archive.

“The Knights Templar, a military order of the Roman Catholic Church, are back in the news again, almost 700 years after they were suppressed by papal edict.

To the delight not only of scholars but also of Templar buffs around the world, who have been captivated by Dan Brown’s stories, they are publishing facsimile reproductions of the original account in Latin of the investigation and trial into the alleged misdeeds of the Knights Templar. It took place in Rome between 1307 and 1312.”
