Modern study of the Hospitallers, of other military-religious
orders, and of their activities both in the Mediterranean and in
Europe has been deeply influenced by the work of Anthony Luttrell.
To mark his 75th birthday in October 2007 twenty-three colleagues
from ten different countries have contributed to this volume. The
first section focuses on the crusading period in the Holy Land,
considering the Hospital in Jerusalem, relations with the
Assassins, finances, indulgences, transportation and the careers of
the brothers and knights. The second and third sections move to the
later Middle Ages, when the Hospitallers had their centre on
Rhodes, and military and charitable activities in the East had to
be supported with men and money from the West. The papers in the
second section consider the Hospitallers on Rhodes, relations
between Rhodes and the West and plans for crusades, while the third
section includes papers on the Hospitallers in the Iberian
Peninsula and in Hungary, the territorial administration of the
Order of Montesa in Valencia, a plan to transfer the headquarters
of the Teutonic Order from Prussia to Frisia, and a Hospitaller
reconsideration of warfare and learning on the eve of the council
of Trent. The final paper proposes new definitions and guidelines
for future work on the military-religious orders. The authors
include both well-known experts and younger scholars who promise to
follow in the footsteps of Anthony Luttrell and to continue
research into the Hospitallers and their fellow orders, these
peculiar European communities avant la lettre.
