Templar Bibliography V2.0

[Andrew S Hall]

Queries about the Templars seem to pop up with some regularity. There
have been several bibliographies posted, but they have been less than
complete. To remedy this horrid lapse, I compiled a bibliography of
Templarana based on my bibliographic notes collected for some years.
I list these items mostly without comment. Additions, suggestions,
and comments are highly encouraged.

This is the second go-around for this list. There have been some updates
and corrections as well as some new entries. One significant new book
has come out since the first edition of the list and deserves a special
notice. It is Malcolm Barber's _The New Knighthood_. Also, Peter Partner's
classic work _The Murdered Magicians_ is now more readily available from
the most recent Barnes and Noble catalogue.

The Unofficial Usenet Templar Bibliography V2.0
Recent spates of interest in the Templars have been sparked by Umberto
Eco's fantastic book _Foucault's Pendulum_. Interest in the Templars
and the formation of various Neo-Templar groups has spanned several
centuries. This is an attempt to compile a list of (mostly) books and
other materials relating to the Knights Templar both as historical
entities and as the subject of various occult and conspiracy theories.
A complete Templar bibliography would be an immense undertaking and,
probably, impossible. In light of this, I have limited this list in
several ways: 1) works whose primary focus is on the Templars (not the
Middle Ages or the Crusades which often have large Templar sections),
2) works that are reasonably available, and 3) works that are not
limited in geographical scope (there are a huge number of scholarly
and interesting works whose titles are of the form _The Knight Templar
in XXXX_ where XXXX is usually a small city, county, or department).

Note on format: The list is divided into four sections- historical,
legacy, fiction, and others. The first three are purely for books and
the last is for other media. The languages are primarily French and
English. This is partly due to the material and partly due to my
language abilities.

The Legacy of the Templars

This section is the 'growth industry' of Templar material. Being
comprehensive is out of the question here. Again, this section will
contain books that are exclusively or nearly exclusively about the
Templars. For some unknown reason, they seem to make their appearance
in some unexpected places. Books where the Templars represent only a
portion of the main theme have been omitted. This section also includes
books whose time frame is that of the historical Templars, but contain
connections, theories, or other points-of-view.

Appendix II - Specific queries

While any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, there are a few
items and areas for which I am particularly looking.

- There is a new book on the Templars coming out in France. A bookstore
owner showed me a newsclipping (he knows the author). Stupidly, I
didn't write the title and author down. Depending on the price,
I might be interested in obtaining it from someone in France.

- Some of the authors (particularly Baigent and Leigh) have produced
documentaries for film of for Tv (like the BBC). I would like to
find titles, air dates, and even copies.

- Michael Bradley's book _Holy Grail Across the Atlantic_ appears not
to be available in the US. I know it is/was available in Canada. I
would appreciate hearing from anyone who would be willing to help me
obtain it.

Thanks:

Fredrick Appelberg, Peter Cawley, Patrick Kearney, Keith McGuinness,
and someone from PSU who pointed out that I had missed Klossowski but
a too rapid use of delete made me lose his/her name.
