Knights of St. Katharine at Mount Sinai.

THE reason of the Institution of these Knights (which was about the year of Christ 1063.) was to guard and defend the Se∣pulchre of St. Katharine their Patron (whose Body is said to be buried in Mount Sinai, near to which place a Monastery was erected and dedicated to her Name) to secure the passage for Travellers who came thither for Devotion sake, and to entertain them during their a∣bode.

They lived under the Rule of St. Basil the Great, vowed Obedience to the Abbot of this Monastery, and wore a white Garment. But when the Turks became Masters of these parts, this Order of Knighthood suffered very much; notwithstanding, some Remains of the Order doth yet continue.
