Medieval mediterranean 17. This major study includes a translation of all testimony heard during the templar trial in cyprus in 1310 or 1311. The trial is of immense importance to the study of the history of the order because of the large number of templar witnesses seventy-six many of high rank and the ancillary testimony of fifty-six noblemen burghers and members of the regular and secular clergy. What makes the trial especially significant is that torture appears not to have been used allowing witnesses to give their opinion of the order free of the usual constraint. A large amount of testimony omitted from the latin edition appears here for the first time. Witnesses are cross-referenced to other templar trials or to cypriot notarial documents. The work is completed by photographs maps an exhaustive index lists of witnesses and bibliography.
