Sinopsis

This translation of Henri de Curzon's 1886 edition of the French Rule is derived from the three extant medieval manuscripts. Both monastic rule and military manual, the Ruleis a unique document and an important historical source. It comprises the Primitive Rule, Hierarchical Statutes, Penances, Conventual Life, the Holding of Ordinary Chapters, Further Details on Penances, and Reception into the Order. There are details of clothing, armour and equipment; instructions on conduct while on campaign; information on the daily life of members of the order and on the discipline which made it a formidable fighting force. The Ruleevolved over almost 150 years of the Order's history, and is thus a dynamic piece of work, showing how the Templars adapted to political change and formulated their disciplinary code. An introduction gives the historical background to the Rule and summarises the varioussections. An appendix by MATTHEW BENNETT discusses the military implications. J.M. UPTON-WARD gained her M.Phil. at the University of Reading.

Críticas

Will receive a warm welcome... The ordinary reader, whether concerned with military history, or with the religious orders, can now be made free of the strange world of one of the two most significant military orders of the middle ages. READING MEDIEVAL STUDIES [Christopher Holdsworth] Reveal[s] a religious order self-consciously attempting to shape itself for the greatest possible service to God and neighbour... a daring experiment that took the ideal of Christian action in the world to a logical extreme.
