Monsieur DESCADEILLAS, the greatest critic of the existence of an Abbé SAUNIERE Treasure, admitted the discovery (before witnesses, in 1887) of several parchments hidden behind the high altar of the church of Rennes-le-Château during the first works.
We do not take part in the quarrel that has existed for several decades over the number of these parchments, and their possible contents.
We will study the parchment called "Number 1, or "The little parchment", as produced by Gérard de SEDE in his book on the Rennes-le-Château affair("LE TRESOR MAUDIT" - 1967).

Its contents, which are in Latin, are a compilation of several extracts from the Gospels:

Luke VI (1-5)
Matthew XII (1-8)
Mark II (23-28)

A first reading of this Parchment shows that it is a text relating to the life of "JESUS"; there is nothing astonishing in this, but to our knowledge it was not emphasised, since it concerned a secret directly linked to Jesus.

THE HIDDEN MESSAGE OF THE PARCHMENT
- Henry LINCOLN discovered that Parchment 1 revealed a certain number of raised letters reconstituting the hidden text, which is as follows:

Contrary to the opinion of other authors, we assert for grammatical reasons that the word "KING" should refer to "SION" and not to "DAGOBERT".
- We divulge the complete meaning of the message, which must be read in the following spirit:

TO DAGOBERT II
KING AND TO SION BELONGS THIS TREASURE
AND IL EST LA MORT

TO DAGOBERT II: this expression designates the receiver of a gift.
KING AND TO SION BELONGS THIS TREASURE must be read from right to left:

AND IL EST LA MORT. This phrase carries a triple meaning:

And he is here, dead:
This confirms the presence of the Tomb, which contains a cadaver.

And it means death:
This is a warning meaning that the Tomb is inviolable, that is, protected; it would be very dangerous to open it, under penalty of death.

And he is love:
This message of love makes us think irresistibly of the message of the Gospels, that is of Jesus, but we will see later that this is a deception.

The letters S, I, O, N, interpreted as being in relation to "SION", must be read from bottom to top: "NO IS", which means "this is not Jesus", reproducing the handwriting at the bottom of Parchment 2.

Above left are a reversed OMEGA and ALPHA:

"Alpha and Omega" meaning JESUS
The reversal of the symbol means "The opposite of JESUS".

The opposite of Jesus designates in reality Jesus Barabbas, who is the opposite of the crucified because he declared:

"...I did not come to bring peace, but a sword." Matthew 10.(34).

But is he the Christ?
The parchment replies in the affirmative in an extremely precise way.
Horizontally, we can read:

This is the definition of Christ given by "The EPISTLE TO THE HEBREWS":

"Fix your thoughts on Jesus, the apostle and high priest whom we confess." Hebrews 3.(1).
"but because Jesus lives for ever, he has a permanent priesthood." Hebrews 7.(24).

Christ is accompanied by his treasure (The King's Tax according to the Abbé Boudet):

At the end of the text can be seen, as on the horizontal slab of the tomb of Dame Marie de NEGRE D’ABLES, the initials "PS" surrounded by the curve** which starts before the "P" and ends before the "S".

The text of the parchment also reveals two groups of distinctive words:
Vertically: "REDIS BLES" which means:
