 The Templar Revelation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Templar Revelation: Secret Guardians of the True Identity of Christ is a pseudohistory book written by Lynn Picknett and Clive Prince and published in 1997 by Transworld Publishers Ltd in Great Britain, Australia and New Zealand.
It may seem that The Templar Revelation even provided Brown with the title of his novel: one chapter is called "The Secret Code of Leonardo Da Vinci".
Brown's reliance on The Templar Revelation is also confirmed by the fact that he imports certain factual errors from this book (see Saint-Sulpice_(Paris) for an example).

The Templars and the Shroud of Turin
There are two theories that relate to the Templars having been involved with the Shroud, one, which would support the authenticity of the Shroud and another, which would refute it.
Knight and Lomas claim that the shroud figured in the Templars rituals of figurative resurrection and that DeMolay's tortured body was wrapped in a shroud, which the Templars kept after his death.

 Knights Templar - Crystalinks
A contemporary describes the Templars as "in turn lions of war and lambs at the hearth; rough knights on the battlefield, pious monks in the chapel; formidable to the enemies of Christ, gentleness itself towards His friends." (Jacques de Vitry).
On the other hand, the Templars who had pleaded guilty before their bishops were to be treated "according to the rigours of justice, tempered by a generous mercy".
Another Templar by the name of John de Stoke stated that Jacques de Molay had instructed that he should know that Jesus was but a man, and that he should believe in 'the great omnipotent God, who was the architect of heaven and Earth, and not the crucifixion'.

 Knights Templar | The Baphomet Mythos | www.templarhistory.com
One thing that is certain is that writers of the nineteenth century were prone to believe that the Templars were Devil worshipping Occultists, while historians of the twentieth century were of the belief that the Templars were party to the machinations of a corrupt government and church.
In either case the fact remains that the Templars were accused of practicing their initiations and rituals in front of a large idol of the demon Baphomet.
Jacques de Molay, who had earlier confessed his and the Templars guilt slowly burned at the stake insisting the order was innocent of all but one offence, that of allowing torture to cause them to lie and confess untruths.

The Knights Templar - for reasons that are not readily apparent to historians - gave prominence to St John the Baptist.
Indeed the seal of the Templars of the Languedoc was the Agnus Dei, the Lamb of God, one of the Baptist's symbols.
The seal of the Templar Master of England bore an Agnus Dei, and to drive home the point his counter-seal had the head of John the Baptist with the inscription 'I am the guarantor of the lamb'.

 CNN - Review: 'The Templar Revelation' - February 19, 1999
Therein lies the logic of "The Templar Revelation." That which seems to have neither merit nor meaning must be both true and vitally important.
Instead, its conclusions are based on the flimsiest of premises which are supported by the slimmest of indirect and circumstantial evidence or, just as often, by the assertion that the lack of evidence justifies their conclusions.
The publicity for "The Templar Revelation" claims the book "could shatter the foundation of the Christian Church." It's been more than a year since it was first published in Great Britain and there's no indication religious institutions are beginning to crumble.

It has even been said that it was the Knights Templar, led by William Sinclair, who turned the tide at the Battle of Bannockburn.
One of the reasons for this association, at least in the popular mind, is the 1983 book, Holy Blood, Holy Grail, which purports to trace the bloodline of the Sinclairs back to the most significant religious figure in western history.
If you wish to trace an unbroken line of transmission of templar teaching and ideals, look to the St Clairs of Roslin, who, as Grand-masters of the Hard and Soft Guilds of Scotland, passed this vital stream of knowledge to the true sucessors of Templarism, the craft of Freemasonry.
