The Knights Templar and their Myth.
Rochester, VT: Destiny Books, 1990. First Edition Thus. Softcover. Octavo. xx + 210pp, notes, bibliography, index. The first printing of this edition which has been revised from the 1981 Oxford University Press work entitled: "Murdered Magicians, the Templars and their Myth". The publisher says: "Peter Partner elucidates the history of the Templars as well as the beliefs that have developed around them in more recent times. From the tangled traditions of occultism to concepts of crusading chivalry, from political conspiracy to governmental greed and papal corruption, Partner shows how a medieval act of political injustice grew into a modern fantasy." Very light rubbing to covers & edges, pages lightly browned - still a tight, clean better than VG copy. Item #62955
