VATICAN CITY (Oct. 12) - The Knights Templar, the medieval Christian military order accused of heresy and sexual misconduct, will soon be partly rehabilitated when the Vatican publishes trial documents it had closely guarded for 700 years.
The Vatican Secret Archives is publishing 799 copies of a document that was found in 2001 after being lost for centuries. Replicas cost $8,333, but you can click through the photos to get the scoop for free.
A reproduction of the minutes of trials against the Templars, "'Processus Contra
Templarios -- Papal Inquiry into the Trial of the Templars"' is a massive work
and much more than a book -- with a $8,333 price tag.<BR>
