Recenzii
’...a coherent collection [with] a very useful index, enabling readers to cross reference between papers. A wide range of historical and archaeological source material is used in these essays, which will be of particular interest to scholars of the Hospitallers and the Crusades, but also to those interested in maritime history and internationalization.’ International Journal of Maritime History '... this book of essays is not only a valuable contribution to the history of the military orders but, due to the diversity and scope of its well-researched articles, provides valuable information and adds important insights to the discussion concerning relationships and interconnections within the Mediterranean.' Speculum 'This collection of twenty-two essays ... is impressive in its breadth and analytical detail. The book will be an important resource for scholars ...' Medieval Review
Descriere
At the heart of this volume is a concern with exploring levels of interaction between two particular objects of study, islands on the one hand, and military orders on the other. 1291 was a significant year for the main military orders: uprooted from their foundations in the Holy Land, the Hospitallers above all took refuge on islands but found themselves vulnerable to those who questioned their continued existence. Islands can be seen to be embodiments of 'insularity', separate, distinct; Military Orders are international in scope, nature and personnel. Therein lies the crux of the matter: how did insular outposts and international institutions come together to forge distinct and often successful experiments?
