Product Information
The first English translation of the book that reveals the Cathar stronghold at Montsegur to be the repository of the Holy Grail * Presents the history of the Papal persecution of the Cathars that lies hidden in the medieval epic Parzival and in the poetry of the troubadours * Provides new insights into the life and death of this gifted and controversial author Crusade Against the Grail is the daring book that popularized the legend of the Cathars and the Holy Grail. The first edition appeared in Germany in 1933 and drew upon Rahn's account of his explorations of the Pyrenean caves where the heretical Cathar sect sought refuge during the 13th century. Over the years the book has been translated into many languages and exerted a large influence on such authors as Trevor Ravenscroft and Jean-Michel Angebert, but it has never appeared in English until now. Much as German archaeologist Heinrich Schliemann used Homer's Iliad to locate ancient Troy, Rahn believed that Wolfram von Eschenbach's medieval epic Parzival held the keys to the mysteries of the Cathars and the secret location of the Holy Grail. Rahn saw Parzival not as a work of fiction, but as a historical account of the Cathars and the Knights Templar and their guardianship of the Grail, a stone from the stars. The Crusade that the Vatican led against the Cathars became a war pitting Roma (Rome) against Amor (love), in which the Church triumphed with flame and sword over the pure faith of the Cathars.Product Identifiers

some good work badly presented.
This book seems to be hastily put together from genuine information, there are instances of entire paragraphs being repeated, terrible grammatical errors and typo's litter the pages. There are numerous suppositions about Rahn himself and what may or may not have been his opinions, whereas Lucifers Court is refreshingly honest about his views on the 'semites' (presumably Mr White is among their number). I dont find anything to suggest that he was a crypto jew as the authors do, just a homosexual who may not have been up to the mark for the SS. I bought the book thinking this was Rahns other book, and then noticed the II after the title, disingenous indeed. Their information on the Occitane area is very good, sometimes a bit too sycophantic to particular locals, but good none the less.I bought the Otto Rahn trail book at the same time thinking the later was the guide book to the area and not just a very similar mini version of this book. Fourty quid I will not get back and generally a bit sloppy.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
