THE HOLY BLOOD & THE HOLY GRAIL Michael Baigent, Richard Leigh & Henry Lincoln
The first publication of The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail in 1982 sparked off a worldwide storm of controversy, reverberations of which are still resounding throughout the Western world. The authors began by investigating the tale of a nineteenth-century French priest, who discovered something in his mountain village at the foot of the Pyrenees which enabled him to amass and spend a fortune. What was his secret? The authors’ discoveries drew them onto a detective trail that became a modern Grail Quest. It led back through cryptically coded parchments, secret societies, the Knights Templar, the Cathar heretics of the twelfth and thirteenth centuries and a dynasty of obscure French kings deposed more than 1300 years ago. The core of the story turned out to be not about material riches but a secret – that Jesus may have been married to Mary Magdalene, and that they may have established a bloodline. In this new, updated edition, featuring a new introduction and many photographs and diagrams, the conclusions remain persuasive.
