All International Rights Reserved. www.knightstemplarorder.org Academic Source Reference: Prince Matthew of Thebes, The Templar Code of 1150 AD: The Code of the Knights Templar, Sovereign Magistral Order of the Temple of Solomon (2015); excerpts from: Temple Rule of 1129 AD, translated from: Henri de Curzon, La Règle du Temple, La Société de L’Histoire de France, Paris (1886), in Librairie Renouard; Restored from amendments ca. 1150 AD. 1 Introduction to the Templar Code The legendary Code of Chivalry was practiced by all Chivalric Orders of knighthood, and was most famously upheld and advanced by the Order of the Temple of Solomon, the 12th century historical institution of the Knights Templar. In addition to the Code of Chivalry, the Templar Order also followed its own Templar Code, as a code of honor, and as a way of life, rooted in the best values of humanity since ancient times. Just as the Knights Templar were a rare form of knighthood, unique among other contemporary Chivalric Orders, the Templar Code was unique to the Templar Order. As with the Code of Chivalry, the Templar Code was also never consolidated into any one single historical document, although it was actively taught by the living example of the Templar Knights, who lived by its principles, demonstrating their Code through their actions. The Code of Chivalry was diligently reconstructed from the historical record by the prominent French historian Emile Leon Gautier in 1891 AD. Through analysis of excerpts of historical manuscripts and literature from the Medieval and Renaissance periods, Gautier developed the first “popular summary” of the original 11th-12th century “Ancient Code of Chivalry”, presenting it as organized into Ten Commandments. Applying the same scholarly approach and methodology as Gautier, the present edition reconstructs a full restoration of the authentic Templar Code, through analysis of the Temple Rule of 1129 AD, in the context of other relevant facts of Templar history. As a result, it develops the first comprehensive presentation of the Code of the Templars, in a form which has great relevance and practical application in the modern era. Accordingly, the newly revealed Templar Code, suitable for diverse real-world use in modern times, is developed here through the commentaries. Excerpts of the Temple Rule Revealing the Templar Code This edition presents selected excerpts of the authenticated text of the historical Temple Rule of the founding Knights Templar. Excerpts are selected as those relevant to the underlying core principles of the Templar Code as a way of life. The Temple Rule of 1129 AD is considered to be based upon the Benedictine Rule, modified by the Cistercian Rule, as used by Saint Bernard for his own Cistercian Order. Also known by historians as the “Latin Rule” or the “Primitive Rule”, it is essentially the “constitution” of the original Order of the Temple of Solomon, as the historical institution of the Knights Templar from 1118 AD. 2 Accordingly, the Temple Rule is perhaps the best evidence in the historical record of the authentic doctrines of the Knights Templar which form the Templar Code. After the Temple Rule was translated into Old French ca. 1138 AD, its original 72 Rules were expanded with additional “Hierarchical Rules” which increased it to 609 Rules by ca. 1149 AD. It was then further expanded up to 685 Rules during the 12th and 13th centuries (ca. 1150-1300 AD). All of those later Rules remained within the context and general framework of the original 72 Rules, which continued to serve as the core principles of the way of life in the Templar Order. The present edition benefits greatly from two of the later Rules (Rule 630 and Rule 679, supported by related historical facts). Therefore, the resulting reconstruction of the Templar Code can be reasonably dated to ca. 1150 AD, not earlier. (It is thus academically appropriate to reference it as the “Templar Code of 1150 AD”.) Authoritative Translation of the Temple Rule Meticulous translation and careful analysis of the Temple Rule is necessary to look beyond popularized misconceptions of the Knights Templar, and to correct mistranslations which inevitably result from contemporary cultural biases. This edition contains excerpts of the authoritative English translation of the Temple Rule by Prince Matthew of Thebes. It was translated directly from the scholarly translation from Latin into Old French by Henry de Curzon in 1886 AD. This translation was also made with reference to the original Latin manuscripts as preserved by La Société de L’Histoire de France in the Librairie Renouard in Paris. The present translation of excerpts of the Temple Rule generally follows the sentence structures of the original manuscripts. Accordingly, some degree of wordiness is tolerated, in favor of preserving many linguistic nuances which substantially contribute to authenticity and accuracy of the original meaning of the rules. This painstaking precision allows for the most reliable analysis, by quoting a translation which has best preserved the true intent of the medieval authors. 3 Many key parts of this translation include the original words [in brackets] from the source languages, indicating Old French (“Fr.”) or Latin (“Lat.”). This is used wherever the authenticated translation reveals a surprising or unexpected meaning, or where it significantly differs from other popularized translations. This provides full transparency to allow easy verification of the authenticity of this translation. The original text of the Latin Rule is presented in colored font (dark red). Editorial emphasis (underline) is added for reference of significant parts. Annotations (in black font) are added for relevant explanations and academic commentary. Reconstructing the Templar Code The present restoration of the Templar Code, as reconstructed through this edition, is based upon the authentic Chivalry of the Order of the Temple of Solomon, as practiced by the Knights Templar during the 12th and 13th centuries. Although many of the Rules superficially appear to be outdated, key details and nuances of their Old French and original Latin texts reveal that they hold more relevance in modern life than we might expect. Indeed, when brought back into the context of their more fundamental underlying principles, many of the Rules actually embody core concepts which are compatible with modern practice. Accordingly, much of what we would want to “modernize” in the Temple Rule is already found within its authentic medieval Rules. Several major themes are expressed and repeated throughout the Temple Rule, which have mostly gone unnoticed by historians and translators. Such themes can only be detected, and understood, in the context of essential areas of “lost history”, which go to the core of the fundamental essence of the original Templar Order. Awareness of the relevant historical facts causes those major themes to be revealed, suddenly appearing as self-evident. Accordingly, certain areas of “lost history” serve as the “keys” to “unlock” the richness of many surprising secrets which were buried within the Temple Rule. Those historical facts relevant to reconstructing the Templar Code are briefly presented in this edition (backed by academic source references), to provide the necessary clarity of context. 4 Many essential themes emerge from a detailed study of the Temple Rule, which are developed throughout that historic document. Such themes evidence certain doctrines and principles, which are established by different aspects contained within various Rules. When their interrelated parts are simply combined, each theme is revealed with full clarity of its substance. The predominant themes are presented in this edition, reconstructed from each key topic of related Rules, in order to recover, restore and reveal the authentic Templar Code. The historically authentic Templar Code emerges as, and is best revealed as, Twelve “Pillars” of Templar Chivalry, thereby consolidated in a popular form so that they may be more easily understood. It was in such a form that the original Twelve Apostles of Jesus each wrote their respective Gospels as were collected in full by the 1st century Essenes. These fundamental principles of the Templar Code are best called “Pillars”, as each of them are core doctrines of the Order of the Temple of Solomon, and thus are metaphorically the “Pillars” of the Temple of Solomon itself. These same essential principles, forming the basis for the Templar way of life, are also the “Pillars” which can effectively hold up humanity, and hold together human civilization. Indeed, by all objective accounts, in the modern era we are witnessing (and suffering from) nothing less than the collapse of modern civilization, precisely as a direct result of these Templar Pillars having been neglected. Accordingly, it is primarily by resurrecting, promoting, and living by these same Twelve Pillars of the Templar Code, that we can best revitalize civilization, and restore humanity and prosperity to modern society. 5 1. Preserve the Ancient Origins of Religion and Spirituality The historical institution of the legendary “Knights Templar” was properly named the Order of the Temple of Solomon, because it was entirely based upon the archaeological excavation and discoveries by the founding Knights in the Temple of Solomon.

  • A Brief History of the Medieval Knights Templar
    A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE MEDIEVAL KNIGHTS TEMPLAR he medieval Knights Templar, best known to us today as the T famed warriors of the Crusades, were a devout military religious Order that uniquely combined the roles of knight and monk in a way the Western medieval world had never seen before. Originally they were known as the Poor Knights of Christ and the Temple of Solomon, or, more simply, as the Knights Templar. In a famous letter written in the 1130s, In Praise of the New Knighthood, St Bernard of Clairvaux elevated the Templar Order above all other Orders of the day, establishing the image of the Templars as a fierce spiritual militia for Christ. He regarded them as a "new species of knighthood, previously unknown in the secular world..." To him, they were a unique combination of knight and monk; to later historians, they were the first military order, soon imitated by the Knights Hospitaller, by several Spanish orders and, by the end of the 12th century, by the Teutonic Knights. As a holy militia fighting for Christ, the Templars were willing to put aside the usual temptations of ordinary secular life for an arduous, dedicated life of service. Ever since then, the legacy of the Templars has been –first and foremost - the concept of service. The Templars officially originated in the Latin Kingdom of Jerusalem in 1118 A.D., when nine knights, mainly French, vowed to protect pilgrims on the dangerous roads leading to Jerusalem. These courageous knights gained the favor of King Baldwin II of Jerusalem who granted them part of his palace for their headquarters, which was located in the southeastern part of the Temple Mount, called "Solomon's Temple".

    SALUTARE ANIMAS NOSTRAS: THE IDEOLOGIES BEHIND THE FOUNDATION OF THE TEMPLARS A THESIS PRESENTED TO THE DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY, HUMANITIES, PHILOSOPHY, AND POLITICAL SCIENCE IN CANDIDACY FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS By Rev. Fr. Thomas Bailey, OSB NORTHWEST MISSOURI STATE UNIVERSITY MARYVILLE, MISSOURI MAY 2012 Salutare Animas Nostras 1 Running Head: SALUTARE ANIMAS NOSTRAS Salutare Animas Nostras: The Ideologies Behind the Foundation of the Templars Rev. Fr. Thomas Bailey, OSB Northwest Missouri State University THESIS APPROVED Thesis Advisor Date Dean of Graduate School Date Salutare Animas Nostras 2 Abstract From beginning to end, the Knights Templar were a mysterious order. Little is known of their origins, and most of their records were destroyed during the suppression in the fourteenth century. In addition, they combined seemingly incompatible objectives: warriors and monks, as well as laity and clergy. This study bridges those divides, providing the historical developments from a secular and religious context. To understand the Templars’ foundation, it needs to be based on a premise that combines the ideologies of the priestly and knightly classes–salvation and the means to attain it. The conclusions were drawn following a multi-disciplinary approach. The primary source materials included the Hebrew and Christian Scriptures, patristic authors, medieval literature, canon law, the Templars’ rules, in addition to monastic cartularies and chronicles. The secondary sources were a similar collection from various disciplines. The approach allowed for the examination of the Templars from multiple angles, which helped to highlight their diversified origins. The Knights Templar were the product of a long evolution beginning with the Pauline imagery of the Christian as a soldier battling his/her own spiritual demons and continuing through the call for a crusade to defend the Patrimony of Christ.

McNicholas Pledged: P. D. Handyside Approved: E. Kurlander, Faculty Advisor M. Venzke, Chair, History Senior Research Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for HY 499 Stetson University 6th December, 2005 Abstract Created around 1230 CE, the Poor Knights of Christ and of the Temple of Solomon were created in order to protect pilgrims on their journey through the new Christian kingdom in Palestine. Starting out as a small group, these warrior monks soon grew in power and prestige under the benefaction of St. Bernard and were charged with the protection of the Catholic Church by Pope Innocent II. Along with this favour bestowed upon them, the Templars quickly accumulated a great amount of wealth and territory across Europe. However, their power base was always in the Holy Land. The capture by Muslims of the city of Acre, the final Christian stronghold in Palestine, deprived them of this power base. Following this they were free to the predations of ambitious secular rulers, such as Philip IV of France. Philip, anxious to establish his authority and to acquire more revenue producing lands, was able to bring charges against the Templars accusing them of heresy which led to the eventual arrest and disbandment of the Knights Templar. The loss of their power base left the Templars vulnerable to condemnation by the society at large and, as such, they were unable to protect themselves, or be protected by others, when they came under threat.

  • The Forgotten Templar Old World Knights Templars Were Men Of
    The Forgotten Templar Old World Knights Templars were men of legend. In their quest to defend truth and justice, these men used their swords and unwavering dedication to secure victories in epic battles burned into the pages of our history books. As modern day Knights, we pride ourselves on presenting the Order, not with a sword, but as a benevolent and brotherly house whose ultimate goals are charity and the never-ending search for light. We still have swords but without the edge. We revel in legends which depict old world Templars being ferocious as the proverbial lions. And they were, indeed. However, there was a duality to their personalities which often goes unmentioned. They had a very complex, self-reflecting and gentile side to them- they could be as meek as a lamb. History repeats itself. The world of the early Templars was in many ways very different from our own modern world; but, as we are witnessing more and more, our worlds are once again becoming eerily similar. Religious extremism, the diluting of Christian morals and unprovoked violence was inflicted upon humanity by radical groups then, just as today where modern day religious extremists, atheism, and “politically correct” bureaucrats are seeking to destroy our world. Sometimes I ponder that perhaps the evil ones are once again testing the resolve of the Templar- with an ancient question. Are we still as meek as a lamb and ferocious as a lion or have we become lamb chops only? The following article is about a sickly Cistercian Monk who would ultimately design and shape a machine capable of unthinkable violence and yet display equal kindness.

  • "The Capstone" an Attempt to Identify The
    "The Capstone" An attempt to identify the 'Head of the Snake' Secret Societies Order of Hospitallers (link) The Knights Hospitaller, also known as the Order of Hospitallers or simply Hospitallers, were a group of men attached to a hospital in Jerusalem that was founded by Blessed Gerard around 1023 out of which two major Orders of Chivalry evolved, the Order of the Knights of St. Lazarus and the Order of the Knights of St. John, later to be known as the Sovereign Military Order of Malta. The Hospitallers arose around the work of an Amalfitan hospital located at the Muristan site in Jerusalem, founded around 1023 to provide care for poor, sick or injured pilgrims to the Holy Land. After the Western Christian conquest of Jerusalem in 1099 during the First Crusade, the organisation became a religious and military order under its own charter, and was charged with the care and defence of the Holy Land. Following the conquest of the Holy Land by Islamic forces, the Order operated from Rhodes, over which it was sovereign, and later from Malta where it administered a vassal state under the Spanish viceroy of Sicily. The Order was weakened by Napoleon's capture of Malta in 1798 and became dispersed throughout Europe. It regained strength during the early 19th century as it repurposed itself towards humanitarian and religious causes. The modern continuation of the mediaeval Order is the Roman Catholic Sovereign Military Order of Malta, headquartered in Rome; allied Protestant orders are headquartered in the United Kingdom, Germany, the Netherlands and Sweden. The first master of the original Order of the Hospital of St John of Jerusalem was Brother Gerard (whose origins remain a mystery).

It served as a “charter”, mostly governing the monastic life of the Knights, and established the founding principles of the Order. Thus, it is perhaps the best evidence in the historical record of the authentic beliefs, philosophy and doctrines of the Knights Templar.

  • Of 41 Aspects and Problems of the Templars' Religious Presence In
    Aspects and Problems of the Templars’ Religious Presence in Medieval Europe from the Twelfth to the Early Fourteenth Centuries By Jochen Schenk ABSTRACT: The medieval military orders were religious institutions whose members had pro- fessed to a life of combat and prayer that integrated them into a religious landscape exceedingly de- fined by diversity. And yet still very little is known about the military orders’ religious functions in the dioceses in which they held ecclesiastical possessions. By focusing on one military in particular, the Order of the Temple, this study aims to achieve two goals: first, to provide a critical overview of recent scholarship in the emerging field of military order (and especially Templar) religion, and second, to examine aspects Templar religious involvement in medieval society in general and the reactions of senior clergymen to the Templars’ religious engagement on parish level in particular. It argues that the Templars proved very keen on expanding their network of parish churches and that in so doing they proved willing to engage with the lay public on a much larger scale than has hither- to been believed. Introduction The medieval military orders were religious institutions whose members had professed to a life of combat and prayer that, although it transcended traditional forms of regular religious life by com- bining contemplation with active military service, nonetheless integrated them into a religious land- scape exceedingly defined by diversity. As part of this landscape military order communities came in regular contact with secular and regular clerics from other institutions as well as with lay men and women who provided them with revenues and possessions, among them churches and chapels and the rights pertaining to them.
