The Order of Saint Lazarus saw its origins as an institution
established outside the walls of Jerusalem to care for the victims
of leprosy assuming the organization of a Crusader Monastic Order
after the First Crusade of 1099. Little is known about its early
administration except that the Jerusalem establishment de St Ladre
des Mesisus was managed by a maistre who was dependent on the
Patriarche de Jerusalem (presumably the newly established Latin
Patriarch in 1099). The earliest information about the
administration of the hospitalis infirmorum Sancti Lazari de
Jerusalem dates from the early fourteenth century in the form of a
manuscript Rule Book held at the Benedictine Nunnery at Seedorf in
the Canton of Uri in modern-day Switzerland. This has sections
outlining the regulations dating from the twelfth century (before
1187) while the Order was still established in the motherhouse in
Jerusalem. Further regulations were promulgated for the local
management of the nunnery in the early 15th century.
