The Knights Templar were the most famous monastic military order of the Middle Ages and this unique collection of documents represents one of the most important sources on life in the order. These documents cover everything from standards of dress and equipment, how the #Templars encamped, hierarchy and electing a Master, discipline and punishments, as well as countless other insights. The Templar Rule is accompanied by 35 handwritten letters from order members and another 19 representing a correspondence between the last Grand Master of the Order Jacques de Molay and King Jaime II of Aragon. As such, this is a peerless collection of documents from the era directly preceding the tragic downfall of the order due to the intrigues of the French King Philip IV. What is more, the original documents were stolen in 1985, but fortunately not before archivists had a chance to make detailed copies of them on microfilm. This splendid facsimile collection thus represents some the only surviving evidence for the inner workings of the Knights Templar.
