Martino Publishing, undated [c.2000] reprint of 1928 first edition. Cloth, 8vo,. xix.324 pp. 1201 entries. From the publisher's description: "The Knights Templar were a monastic military order formed at the end of the First Crusade with the mandate of protecting Christian pilgrims on route to the Holy Land. Never before had a group of secular knights banded together and taken monastic vows. In this sense they were the first of the Warrior Monks. In November of 1095 Pope Urban II in a field in Clermont Ferrand launched the First Crusade. The myths and legends surrounding this gathering are probably as great as those surrounding the Knights Templar themselves or the legendary Knights of Camelot. The Knights Templar were without a doubt the single most influential and powerful of the religious military orders that sprang up as a result of the crusades. Although younger than their rivals The Order of the Hospital, as a monastic institution, the Templars were the first to add a military face to monasticism. Dessumbre's work is the only book on the subject listed in Besterman. As new.
