Studies on the Hospitallers after 1306 cover

This is the fifth collection of studies on the Hospitallers of Rhodes by Anthony Luttrell to appear in the Variorum Collected Studies Series. In these 24 studies the emphasis is on the 14th century, on the central Convent facing the Turks, on the hinterland in the Order's European priories and commanderies, and on their interaction and interdependence. Together, they constitute another important body of work on the history of the Hospitallers. Particular topics include the nature of the Hospital as a military-religious order; its historiography, iconography, religiosity and finances; relations with the papacy; women members; Eastern outposts at Bodrum, on Kos and in mainland Greece; and developments in Hungary, England, Catalunya, Rousillon, and various parts of Italy.

’... sa maîtrise incomparable des multiples fonds d'archives relatifs à l'Hôpital, ainsi que ses intuitions pionnières, continuent d'apporter une contribution décisive à la connaissance du monde un peu étrange des ordres militaires.’ Revue d’Histoire Ecclésiastique ’Taken together, the five volumes of his papers in the Variorum Series constitute a major contribution to the histories of military orders and the later crusades.’ English Historical Review
