consists of the publication in Latin of the Papal _bulls_ and trials of
the Templars before the Papal Commission in Paris contained in the
original document once preserved at _Notre Dame_. Michelet says that
another copy was sent to the Pope and kept under the triple key of the
Vatican. Mr. E. J. Castle, K.C., however, says that he has enquired about
the whereabouts of this copy and it is no longer in the Vatican
