8. See Roux, 1; and Baigent and Leigh, Temple and the Lodge, 118–20. A bull of 1178 from Pope Alexander III also officially confirms the Order’s possessions. The original charters by the French king are in the town’s municipal archives (Archives du Loiret, serie D.357). See also Rey, Les familles d’outre-mer, 31ff; and Le maire, historie et antiquitez, pt. 2, chap. xxvi, 96ff. See also Charnier, Guide des archives du Loiret, 86. The Order was officially registered with the French police on June 25, 1956, in the Journal Officiel, a weekly government publication in which all societies and organizations must declare themselves. The address in the sub-prefecture of Saint Julien-en-Genevois is untraceable. Other documents detailing the factual existence of the Priuré de Sion are found in Le livre des constitutions.
