A very challenging read..

Written in the 1800's. Latin abounds. It is a well researched book and interesting given the views of the author pre-date, by some margin, modern thinking and understanding of the Templars. It is challenging to read and I did read about matters that are not well covered in other Templar books.

Don't waste your money on this. Buy "Dungeon, Fire and Sword" instead.
