The Proceedings Against the Templars in the British Isles, Helen J. Nicholson (ed.) — 1st Edition

Publication: Farnham, Ashgate Publishing Limited, 2011

Formatting: 8vo, 2 vols, pp. xl, 432; lx, 653.

Condition Report: Very Good. Bound in the publisher's original black cloth boards with silver gilt titling to the fronts and spines, these volumes remain structurally excellent. The bindings are entirely tight and secure, with sharp corners and no leaning. There is some minor surface scuffing and faint white marking to the cloth, most visibly on the front and rear boards of Volume 2, alongside a very faint, small smudge to the fore-edge of the lower text block. Internally, the volumes are impeccable; the pages are crisp, bright, and completely free from foxing, inscriptions, or marginalia. Issued without dust jackets.

Catalogue Note: First edition, complete in two volumes.

Volume 1 provides the definitive Latin edition of the trial proceedings, while Volume 2 offers the complete English translation. This ambitious scholarly work represents the first comprehensive transcription and translation of the trial testimonies of the Knights Templar in the British Isles, drawn from primary manuscripts held in the Bodleian Library, the British Library, and the Vatican Secret Archives.

This original 2011 Ashgate first edition set is particularly scarce on the open market. Having been subsequently absorbed and reprinted by Routledge, original matching Ashgate hardbacks remain highly desirable among medievalists and collectors of 

Between 1307 and 1312, the military-religious Order of the Temple was subjected to a sweeping series of arrests and inquisitions on charges of heresy, ultimately leading to its dissolution by papal decree. The Proceedings Against the Templars in the British Isles provides a monumental and meticulously researched account of these trials as they unfolded in England, Scotland, and Ireland. Edited and translated by the distinguished historian Helen J. Nicholson, this two-volume work offers unprecedented access to the testimonies of the arrested Templars, shedding light on their daily lives, the internal workings of the Order, and the political machinations that brought about their dramatic downfall. It stands as an essential primary resource for understanding one of the most infamous episodes of the Middle Ages.

Book Condition Guide

We stock thousands of books in a wide range of conditions. To make things clear and to help you know exactly what to expect, Please refer to these condition categories to understand the condition of the book you will receive.
Condition Description
New A brand-new, unread and professionally handled book. Carefully preserved from publication to purchase, these books are offered in the best attainable condition. This grade applies to recently published titles that have not entered long-term storage.
As New The book is in pristine, original condition as if just published. No signs of use or handling. The dust jacket (if present) is equally flawless. This grade applies to any book that has remained untouched in storage for years.
Fine The book is close to As New. It remains bright and attractive, but could show minor imperfections to the boards and/or dust jacket (if present). Its pages are typically clean and unmarked.
Near Fine The book has a number of small flaws, i.e. slight rubbing to the edges, or tiny chips or creases to the dust jacket (if present). Its pages may have faint marks, or creases that are barely perceptible — nothing that detracts from their overall condition.
Very Good The book maintains its structural integrity, and has no major flaws such as tears to its binding or pages. It may, however, show signs of careful use, handling, or storage — small marks and creases, light foxing. Its dust jacket (if present) remains fully intact, but small tears may be present.
Good A book that remains intact and readable with complete text pages, but shows moderate signs of wear and use to both the book and dust jacket (if present). It may have noticeable creases, nicks, or stains, and the spine likely shows fading, bumping, and rubbing. There could be writing, underlining, and other marks on some pages, though the majority will be clean and tidy.
Fair A book with significant wear or damage. The text pages will be complete, but there may be heavy underlining, highlighting and staining throughout, and the book’s endpapers, half-title, and copyright pages could be damaged or missing. The binding could be loose, and the dust jacket (if present) may have notable scuffs or tears. These copies are usually of interest for content, signature(s) or scarcity.
Poor A heavily worn book whose value lies in its complete and legible text. A poor book will have substantial defects — loose joints or hinges, detached covers, loose and/or missing pages, and could be heavily soiled. A poor book is also known as a reading copy, and although compromised, can hold historical or bibliographic significance.
