Picknett, Lynn and Prince, Clive The Templar Revelation Secret Guardians of the True Identity of Christ
London Bantam Press 1997 0593038703) Cloth Very Good No Jacket 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall
431 pp. with appendix, notes, references and index. This book begins with a chapter on Leonardo da Vinci, and includes chapters about sacred sexual rituals and Mary Magalene, so it seems to be a source for the novel 'Da Vinci Code'. Text block is very clean and tight, pages are just slightly yellowed. In this ambitious and controversial work we find much more on the legends of France concerning Mary Magdalene and her possible connection to Jesus and the Christian Church. The authors also delve into the mystery of Rennes le Chateau, the story which originally inspired Baigent, Lincoln and Leigh to do the investigation which led to their theory of a Jesus who was married and whose descendants founded the Merovingian dynasty. Since that time, other books have also questioned the standard story of Christian beginnings, and have even revived the idea that historical Jesus did not exist.
