Abstract
As is well known from the rhymed Prologue, the oldest French prose translation of the Book of Judges had two Templar patrons, Richard of Hastings and Odon de Saint-Omer. This paper throws more light on their renown in the twelfth century and on their enthusiastic support for a vernacular rendering of this particular Book of the Old Testament. A close study of the translator's statements allows the reasonable conjecture that he was not a Templar himself, but a priest serving the Order in London.
