I understand the point you're making especially in the Brown case but initially HBHG would not really be expected to become as popular as it did.

If that were true, Random House wouldn't have picked it up in the first place.

Are you testing me to see if I know whether it was Jonathan Cape publishing that first picked it up which later became an imprint of Random House?

Good point, Rain. Jonathan Cape Ltd. released (T)HBHG in Britain on January 18, 1982; five weeks later in was released in the U.S. under the Delacorte Press Imprint of Dell Publishing. Both were later acquired by Random House.

Which actually makes more sense, given the sort of mass-market pulp material Dell used to publish. Random House didn't acquire the rights to HBHG until after it had made its mark.

You seem to have a particular knack of speed reading threads and getting hold of the wrong end of the stick.

I'm sure you wish that were true, Sheila. You'd have far less to worry about coming back to haunt you. :lol:

Difference being ToG was one almighty yawn whereas HBHG was a page-turner.

But i quite enjoyed reading ToG.

I enjoyed it much more than the DVC crap.

I still enjoy their deductions and speculations about the famous parchments. I always like reading about other people's research and how they reach their conclusions.

I prefer the first half of the book to the second though.

As for HBHG, everyone has a soft spot for that book because it was this book most of the English read first. As i recall, the authors never said their work was fact, but a hypothesis they had formulated.

Im currently reading Chaumeils work .... on the Priory, will start a thread with my thoughts when finished.

All i can say about Cherisey - he is either masterful or he was completely and utterly stark raving bonkers bless him. I dont think Chaumeil was any match for him - which kind of supports what i have been led to believe by 'insiders' (if that is what these people are).

Mebbe ToG is worth another read, I for one can't look at Cardou without thinking of what might be buried on its western flank.

The wife is currently reading Chaumeil's translated tome, perhaps I'll get round to reading it next month. Chaumeil was for all intents and purposes Plantard's gofer, it's amusing that he's regularly wheeled on to RLC-debunking tv progs as an ex-cathedra 'writer' on the PoS....including of course the notorious Timewatch prog about Tomb of God

Hi,

According to most online resources (such as Wikipedia) the Priory of Sion registration was acknowledged in the July 20th 1956 Journal Officiel de la République Française. However, in The Sion Revelation Lynn Picknett gives the date as June 25th 1956.

Can any forum member clear up this discrepancy? Perhaps someone has actually read the Journal issue in question... Or does anyone know of a site that reproduces the entry in question?

Does anyone know if the CIRCUIT sub-title was reproduced in the Journal Officiel entry?

Regards,

Spartacus

Another quick question to you guys following on from SP's post above. AFAIK the "Dossiers Secrets" were placed in the Bibliothèque Nationale de Paris but are no longer there. Does anyone have any idea when they disappeared or who took/moved them ? Or do I have this wrong ?

they're there.

Thanks Roger,
I've tried searching for them a few times via the BNF web address, guess I've not been looking hard enough :oops:

Have they been scanned for web access or do you have to order scans / visit ?
