Now this is interesting!! Where can I get eight grand fast?

Greedy church! They really want to be richer than god!

Yeah, you're right, they're a greedy lot, but I sure would like to own one of these. This is my period, and the Templars in particular have always fascinated me.

Your post got marked as spam, I had to unspam it.

I'd like to see these documents too, I just don't have eight grand readily available, and even if I did I'd probably use them for something else!

Thing is, as an old document these aren't protectable by copyright anywhere I know of. So as soon as any of these libraries make their copies available, someone is bound to make more copies.
