A supposed history of Freemasonry and how it is derived from the Knight's Templar. Robert the Bruce gets a mention, as does Rosslyn Chapel. The authors are experts at weaving together disparate events and peoples into almost-believable conspiracy theory.

Certainly outdated now but still entertaining. ( )

Treći nastavak "Svete krvi, svetog grala", koji baca svjetlo na Templare i njihovu vezu sa Masonima, koji su centralna tema knjige.

Ova knjiga sadrži mnogo neverovatnih podataka koje se po prilično razlikuju od standardnih ustaljenih obrazaca koje poznaje istorija.

"...Slobodno zidarstvo je u Britaniji tokom nekoliko poslednjih godina postalo ne samo omiljena tema razgovora, već i cijenjeni predmet rasprava. Nadmetanje u hajci na masone zaista obećava da se razvije u pravi pravcati krvavi sport, nesto slicno hajkama na svestenike u Irskoj..."

Iz sadrzaja: Ratnicki monasi - templari; Nestanak templarske flote; Keltska, Skotska i gralske legende; Slobodno zidarstvo - geometrija svetog; Razvoj velike loze itd.

Knjiga je bogato ilustrovana.

Ova knjiga se ne bavi ulogom i aktivnostima, stvarnim ili zamišljenim, slobodnog zidarstva u savremenom društvu, niti predstavlja pokušaj ispitivanja osnovanosti tvrdnji o zaveri ili korupciji. Ovo, razumije se, nije ni odbrana slobodnog zidarstva. Mi sami nismo masoni, pa nemamo nikakvih ličnih interesa da tu ustanovu oslobađamo optužbi što su protiv nje podignute. Naše je usmerenje u potpunosti istoričarsko. Poduhvatili smo se ulaženja u trag pretečama slobodnog zidarstva, utvrđivanja njegovog istinskog porekla, ocrtavanja prikaza njegovog razvoja i razrastanja, procene njegovog uticaja na britansku i američku kulturu tokom godina njegovog vlastitog obrazovanja koje je dostiglo vrhunac krajem osamnaestog veka.

Another in a series of interesting gossipy stews by Leigh and Beignet. Well worth the read, but take a bag of salt first. Conspiracy theories abound in this sequel. Basis of the Da Vinci Code (q.v.) which led to the lawsuit in Great Britain. This is not as well known a work as the salacious Da Vinci Code. Well worth the read and even a few kernels of truth to it. You decide. ( )

More believable than their other books, it traces the switch from Templar to Lodge and talks about early Freemasonry in a scholarly way. They do this without recourse to their theories that connected to the Templars via a tenebrous Priory of Sion. This book instead shows the very real connections between Knights Templar and early Freemasonry, and how the Masons used quasi-Enlightenment ideals to shape the United Kingdom and United States. ( )
