The reality of the saga of the Knights Templar is almost as amazing as the myths that embellish it. Vatican publisher Scrinium made 800 copies of the trial against the Templars for $8,375 apiece. The 1308 parchment original chronicles the accusations, the defense, and Pope Clement V's absolution of the order, before he did an about-face and eliminated it.

The reality of the saga of the Knights Templar is almost as amazing as the myths that embellish it. On Thursday the Vatican plans to add another colorful chapter when it publishes a long-misplaced, 699-year-old papal report on the medieval holy warriors. Vatican publisher Scrinium will offer 799 copies (the 800th will go to the Pope), at $8,375 apiece, of a  1308 parchment titled <I>Processus Contra Templarios</I> (Trial Against the Templars), which chronicles the order's sordid endgame: the accusations of heresy, the Templars' defense, and Pope Clement V�s absolution of the order, before he did an about-face and eliminated it. </P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.time.com/time/world/article/0,8599,1674980,00.html?xid=rss-topstories">
Almost from their founding, the Templars have been rumored 
a.) to still exist 
b.) to be impossibly rich, and  
c.) to guard the Holy Grail (the cup from which Jesus drank at the Last Supper) and other Christian relics. </blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/760ACBD0-1FA6-472A-8A80-08EB6D9E9EB1/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
