A historical opera that particularly addresses the condemnation of the Templars, one of the most significant episodes in French medieval history. Published in 1700, the book, written by Monsieur Dupuy, a historian and librarian to the King of France, explores not only the trial against the Order of the Templars but also some of the political and religious events connected to it. The text analyzes in detail the so-called 'Western Schism,' a division within the Catholic Church that saw two rival popes, one in Avignon and the other in Rome, influencing European politics.

The work also includes a series of acts and documents related to the criminal processes of the era, aiming to provide an accurate view of the events. The author, with particular attention to the legal and political context, seeks to shed light on the internal dynamics of the Church and the kingdom of France, proposing a reflection on temporal and spiritual power.

The book is part of a broader historical reflection on the relationship between ecclesiastical power and state power, a central theme in the 18th century, and aims to serve as an important resource for those interested in medieval history and its political and religious developments.
