comments: [173] Although strictly speaking the regulations can only be dated to the periods between the acquisition of Cole/Chole (shortly before Dec. 25 1180 – Sept. 10 1181) and Roger’s departure for Europe in June 1184, and between his return to the East in the spring of 1186 and his death on May 1 1187, the reference to a general chapter makes it certain that these were issued at the same time as the Hospitaller statutes of Mar. 14 1182. [174] The regulations should be supplemented by the evidence provided in an important treatise, written in the 1180s by a (possibly) German cleric, who had worked in the Hospital of St John of Jerusalem in that period. His description of the Hospital includes references to: the admission of Muslims and Jews as well as Christians; the organization into wards and their staffing; doctors [theorici/phisici] and surgeons [cyrugici]; a mobile field hospital accompanying Christian armies; the treament, diet and feeding of patients; female wards; Hospitaller nuns; an orphanage; and nobles serving for a time out of charity.
