The Military Orders Volume V

'Overall, the volume is a great achievement, and the editor, Professor Peter Edbury of Cardiff University, should be commended for successfully bringing together such a diverse and broad array of quality work into a single volume. My short review can hardly do justice to the excellent work presented throughout the book. The volume not only represents some of the most recent and important work in the field, but as Jonathan Riley-Smith alludes in the introduction, there is quite a lot of material for scholars of the post-medieval era, which seems poised to be an area of significant growth when it comes the study of the military orders... Specialists on the military orders and university libraries alike should strongly consider the investment. With thirty-eight essays and nearly five hundred pages, it feels like a lot more than one book.' The Medieval Review
