Gould in his History of Freemasonry declares the document to be spurious
largely on the grounds that the Latin of the transcript does not conform
to fourteenth-century practice and that no original of the document has
ever been seen. This latter criticism was remedied in 1911 when Bro.
Fred Crowe, a member of Quatuor Coronati Lodge, published a paper
claiming to have found the original. This was in the form of a parchment
written in cipher based on dissections of the Templar Cross. On
translating the document it was found to be in accord with the
transcripts previously published but, more importantly, it contained
certain abbreviated forms of words as were in use in the fourteenth
century and the absence of which would have cast severe doubts upon its
authenticity.
The parchment can be seen in Mark Masons' Hall. There would not seem to
be any further references which either prove or disprove its
genuineness. A further criticism of the Charter is that by their
Statutes the knights elected the Grand Master by an elaborate system of
lot and ballot, whereas in this document each Master appoints his own
successor. However, this change in procedure is recorded in the document
itself which reads: Therefore with the help of God and with the sole
consent of the supreme Assembly of the Knights, I have conferred . . .
Quatuor Coronati Lodge has a website, so maybe they have more
information about that paper by Bro. Fred Crowe. Otherwise some English
listmembers could possibly go to Mark Masons' Hall and see the Charter
for themselves if it is still there.
I remember xxxxx hinting about the importance of the dissections
of the Templar Cross on the templars onelist. Maybe he can give some
more info about this interesting subject.

DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER
==========
CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list. Proselyzting propagandic
screeds are not allowed. Substance—not soapboxing! These are sordid matters
and 'conspiracy theory', with its many half-truths, misdirections and outright
frauds is used politically by different groups with major and minor effects
spread throughout the spectrum of time and thought. That being said, CTRL
gives no endorsement to the validity of posts, and always suggests to readers;
be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no credeence to Holocaust denial and
nazi's need not apply.
Let us please be civil and as always, Caveat Lector.
