This article is about a 14th century document and its author. For the 12th century Archbishop historian, see William of Tyre The Templar of Tyre French Le Templier de Tyr is the name of a medieval historian and also of the document he wrote in the 14th century, the third and largest section of the Gestes des Chiprois . It was long believed that the document was written by a knight on the island of Cyprus , around the time that the island was the base of operations for the three major military orders, the Knights Templar , the Teutonic Knights , and the Knights Hospitaller . However, the author of the document was probably an Arabic language Arabic speaking translator, a secretary and confidant of the Templar Master William of Beaujeu , although not a Templar himself. The document provides a first hand account of the personal experiences of the author and gives valuable insights into an important period of the Crusades , documenting the years from the early 1230s until about 1314. It covers the final days of the Christian activities in the Holy Land , as they were fighting a losing battle against the Muslim Mamluks , and such important events as the Siege of Acre 1291 Siege and Fall of Acre in 1291 and the dissolution of the Order of the Knights Templar in the early 14th century.

For the Stoic philosopher of the same name Apollonius of Tyre philosopher Apollonius of Tyre is the subject of an ancient short novella, popular during medieval times. Existing in numerous forms in many languages, the text is thought to be translated from an ancient Greek manuscript, now lost. Plot summary In most versions, the eponymous hero is hunted and persecuted after he reveals a king s incestuous relationship with his daughter. After many travels and adventures, in which Apollonius loses both his wife and his daughter and thinks them both dead, he is eventually reunited with his family through unlikely circumstances or intercession by gods. Some English versions have a recognition plot where Apollonius is shipwrecked and becomes a tutor to a princess who falls in love with him, and the good king gradually discovers his daughter s wishes. The major themes are the punishment of inappropriate lust&mdash the incestuous king invariably comes to a bad end&mdash and the ultimate rewards of love and fidelity. Origins Latin and Greek?

Cassius Maximus Tyrius Maximus of Tyre Polytonic 2nd century AD was a Greek rhetoric ian and philosophy philosopher who flourished in the time of the Antonines and Commodus . His writings contain many allusions to the history of Greece, while there is little reference to Rome hence it is inferred that he lived longer in Greece, perhaps as a professor at Athens. Although nominally a Platonist , he is really an Eclecticism Eclectic and one of the precursors of Neoplatonism . Writings There are still extant by him forty one essays or discourses on theological, ethical, and other philosophical subjects. With him God is the supreme being, one and indivisible though called by many names, accessible to reason alone blockquote In such a mighty contest, sedition and discord, you will see one according law and assertion in all the earth, that there is one god, the king and father of all things, and many gods, sons of god, ruling together with him. blockquote As animals form the intermediate stage between plants and human beings, so there exist intermediaries between God and man, viz. daemon mythology daemons , who dwell on the confines of heaven and earth. The soul in many ways bears a great resemblance to the divinity it is partly mortal, partly immortal, and, when freed from the fetters of the body, becomes a daemon. Life is the sleep of the soul, from which it awakes at death. The style of Maximus is superior to that of the ordinary sophistical rhetorician, but scholars differ widely as to the merits of the essays themselves. Maximus of Tyre must be distinguished from the Stoicism Stoic Claudius Maximus , tutor of Marcus Aurelius .
