The studies in the present volume, on the history of the Order of
the Hospital between 1306 and 1522, are not only concerned with the
part it played in the defence of the Latin Levant, but also with
its role in Western society. The first articles deal with the
settlement of Rhodes, the conflicts with the Turks, and with the
Hospitallers' participation in crusading expeditions. As important,
however, is the question of how they managed to support their
military achievements. Drawing on the results of many years'
research into the archives of the Hospital, both in Malta and in
the provincial archives, Dr Luttrell examines their administration
of the Rhodian islands and details some of the resources they drew
from elsewhere, notably the West, whether in terms of recruitment,
money raising or the exploitation of their estates. Particular
attention is given to the Hospitaller properties in Italy and
Spain, and to the nature of Hospitaller life in these western
priories and commanderies. Les etudes regroupees dans le present
volume, qui traitent de l'histoire de l'Ordre de l'HApital entre
1306 et 1522, ne s'attachent pas seulement au rAle joue par
celui-ci dans la defense du Levant latin, mais aussi A son rAle
dans la societe occidentale. Les premiers articles s'interessent A
la colonisation de Rhodes, aux conflits avec les Turcs et A la
participation des membres de l'Ordre aux expeditions croisees. La
question de savoir comment ils parvinrent A financer leurs exploits
militaires reste toutefois importante; s'appuyant sur les resultats
obtenus apres de nombreuses annees de recherches dans les archives
de l'HApital, A Malte et en province, le Dr Luttrell examine leur
administration des A (R)les rhodiennes et fait un compte-rendu
qu'ils tirerent d'ailleurs, notamment de l'Ouest, que ce soit en
terme de recrutement, de collecte de fonds ou d'exploitation de
leurs terres. Une attention plus particuliere est portee sur
