Malcolm Barber's _The New Knighthood: A History of the Order of the
Temple_ is a good (but lengthy) introductory work on the Templars and
includes a large number of primary source citations and a comprehensive
bibliography.
My version was published under Cambridge UP's Canto imprint, and the
ISBN is 0-521-55872-7.
I believe there is a companion book by Barber called _The Trial of the
Templars_, but I have only flipped through it once.
Hope this helps,
Ron Ganze
