Forty stimulating papers linking the study of the military orders’ cultural life and output with their involvement in political and social conflicts during the medieval and early modern period, in both Europe and the Eastern Mediterranean. Divided into two volumes, focusing on Europe and the Eastern Mediterranean respectively, the collection brings together the most up-to-date research by experts from fifteen countries on a kaleidoscope of relevant themes and issues, thus offering a broad-ranging and at the same time very detailed study of the subject.

"Noteworthy is the fact that certain articles apply new methodological approaches and interdisciplinary inspirations, which successfully allows the authors to formulate new theses and reach new results." Anna Maleszka, Ordines Militares
