One this date, in antiqity, the original Latin "Rule of Order" was penned with the assistance of the young Cistercian Abbott, Bernard of Clairvaux. The rule is very similar to the modified Benedictine rule used by the Cistercian order. This makes perfect sense as the two orders were closely related and linked.

While an antiquated text, it deserves mention that this was originally a cipher written, which in te Latin reveal far more than "real knights don't wear shoe laces or pointy boots."

While, i am not advocating its tenets, it is certainly worth at least a casual reading, for those who are interested in the historical role and position of the Supreme Military of the Poor Knights of the Temple of Holy Lands.
