attributed:

But this page from www.templarhistory.com, which has
precisely the same quotation, identifies the source (also called "one of
the foremost Templar scholars") as "the 19th century historian,
Charles Addison":

He does not seem to have
written down the curse, as it is said: “Many latter day writers have claimed (! My exclamation mark, HtJ) that
de Molay in his dying breath summoned both the King of France and Pope Clement
to meet him in a tribunal before God within the year. True to the claim both
men did indeed die within that time.”
But let’s nog go
there to try and find out who the ‘many latter day writers’ were.
