— 1 —
1 The literature on the Knights Templars is so vast that a bibliographical survey itself fills two volumes. For books and articles published down to 1926 sec M. Dessubré, Bibliographie de l’Ordre des Templiers
, Paris, 1928; and for later publications H. Neu, Bibliographie des Templer-Ordens, 1927-1965. Neu’s bibliography also contains many references to much earlier works; and owing to its system of classification is easier to use than Dessubré. Two competent general histories in English are: G. A. Campbell, The Knights Templars. London, 1937; and E. Simon, The Piebald Standard. A biography of the Knights Templars, London, 1959. Unfortunately neither of these works gives any reference to sources. On the destruction of the order the standard works are still H. Finke, Papsttum und Untergang des Templerordens, 2 vols., Münster i. W., 1907; and the two works by G. Lizerand: Clément V et Philippe le Bel, Paris, 1910, and Jacques de Molay, Paris, 1913. A great collection of original sources concerning the destruction is in Michelet’s Procès des Templiers, 2 vols., Paris, 1841, 1851; and a useful selection, including some not known to Michelet, in G. Lizerand, L’Affaire des Templiers, Paris, 1923. Further important documents are in Finke, vol. II. For a French translation of a selection of Michelet’s documents see R. Oursel, Le procès des Templiers, Paris, 1955. Oursel’s own conclusions, however, do not all stand up to detailed examination.2 Raymond Lull, Liber de fine
. The work is printed as an appendix to A. Gottron, Ramon Lulls Kreuzzugsideen, Berlin and Leipzig, 1912, pp. 65–93. See also J. N. Hillgarth, Ramon Lull and Lullism in fourteenth-century France, Oxford, 1971 (esp. pp. 66, 72-3).3 The surviving fragments are combined in an Aragonese document dating from early in 1308. For the text see Finke, op. cit.
, vol. II, p. 118. Cf. letter from Christian Spinola to James II of Aragon, Ibid., p. 51; also Finke’s comments in vol. I, pp. 121-2.4 Pierre Dubois, De recuperatione Terre Sancte
, ed. C. V. Langlois, Paris, 1891, especially pp. 98-9, 131-40. The tract was written between 1305 and 1307. On Dubois, see E. Zeck, Der Publizist Pierre Dubois, Berlin, 1911; especially, for his relationship to Lull, pp. 147 seq.5 For Jacques de Molay’s reply: Lizerand, L'Affaire des Templiers
, pp. 2-14.— 2 —
6 For Esquiu de Floyran see document in Finke, op. cit.
, vol. II, pp. 83-5; and Almaricus Augerii, Vita Clementis V, in E. Baluze, Vitae paparum Avenionensium, ed. G. Mollat, Paris, 1914, vol. I, pp. 93-4. Like Esquiu, Almaric came from Béziers; but he wrote half a century later. The version of the story in Villani, Istorie fiorentine, is demonstrably inaccurate. See also Finke, op. cit., vol. I, pp. m-14; and C. V. Langlois, review of Finke in Journal des Savants for 1908, pp. 423-5.7 Text in Lizerand, op. cit.
, pp. 16–28.8 For a bibliography of the debate concerning the guilt or innocence of the order, see Neu, op. cit.
, pp. 41–50. Since the publication of Neu there has appeared G. Legman, The guilt of the Templars, New York, 1966. It need not be taken seriously.9 Text in Lizerand, op. cit.
, pp. 206-12.10 For examples and references see Michelet, op. cit.
, vol. II, pp. 292, 294, 295, 297; and cf. text in Finke, op. cit., vol. II, p. 363.11 Text in Finke, op. cit.
