Processus Contra Templarios

La exposición de Templarios vuelve a Toledo, esta vez, de forma permanente

Según han informado hoy en una nota de prensa los organizadores de la exposición, la muestra permanente se sustenta sobre una base de piezas de armamento y paneles informativos con fundamentos cronológicos "rigurosos" que explican la historia de la Orden del Temple y de otras como la del Hospital o la Teutónica.

Así, el próximo viernes día 15 será la inauguración de esta exposición en la que, además, se exhibirá una copia exclusiva en edición facsímil de "Processus contra Templarios", procedente del Archivo Secreto del Vaticano.

Junto al facsímil, se presentarán otras copias fidedignas de los pergaminos encontrados en 2001 en la Biblioteca Secreta del Vaticano, que recogen el proceso inquisitorial a los templarios.

La Orden del Temple fue fundada en 1118 con el objetivo de proteger la vida de los cristianos que peregrinaron hacia Jerusalén tras su conquista y estaba formada por caballeros denominados "templarios", que eran distinguidos por vestir un manto blanco con una cruz roja dibujada.

Desaparecidos en 1312 por orden del Papa Clemente V, la Santa Sede comenzó en 1981 a confeccionar una lista de organizaciones que se declaraban sucesoras de los templarios y encontraron más de cuatrocientas.

Ars Masonica: Processus Contra Templarios Visits Skaneateles

In April 2008, the Chancellor Robert R Livingston Masonic Library of Grand Lodge announced the acquisition of Processus Contra Templarios, an unprecedented publication containing a collection of facsimile manuscripts relating to the trials of the Knights Templar. Each year since then, the Library has transported the Processus to sites throughout New York State, so that Freemasons and others interested in Masonic history and legend may examine this unique collection. The Library is pleased to bring the Processus to Skaneateles Lodge 522 F&AM, 13 E. Genesee St., Skaneateles on February 3rd 2011. The event will include a display of the bound volume containing the transcription of the testimony taken from the captive Knights Templar in the year 1308. The display includes facsimile reproductions of the original documents, which reproduce the handwriting of medieval Inquisitors, along with signs of eight hundred years of age, including artificial tears and mold stains. A half-hour presentation from Thomas M. Savini, Director of the Livingston Masonic Library, provides an overview of the Knights Templar, describes their place in history, and discusses their interest to scholars of contemporary Freemasonry. The program includes an opportunity for questions and comments from the audience. Presented to the world in October 2007, the 700th anniversary of the arrest of the Templars, Processus Contra Templarios is a joint project of the Vatican Secret Archives and Italy’s Scrinium cultural foundation. This unique work includes faithful replicas of the original parchments closely guarded at the Secret Archive, along with exclusive critical commentary on the minutes of the inquiry. The most exciting manuscript in the document collection is the “Chinon Parchment,” which contains Pope Clement V’s absolution of the Templars on charges of heresy, which had been the backbone of King Philip of France’s attempts to eliminate them. Original documents of the trials of the Templars have never before been offered to scholars. The epic work of Scrinium is presented in a soft leather case that contains a large-format book with scholarly commentary in Italian and English, reproductions of original parchments in Latin, and replicas of the wax seals used by 14th-century inquisitors. One parchment measuring about a foot and a half wide by more than six feet long is so detailed that it includes reproductions of stains and imperfections seen on the originals.
