  • Islands and Military Orders, c.1291-c.1798

    by Emanuel Buttigieg, Simon Phillips ...
    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.

As Roman society, and the societies by which it was immediately bounded, continued to develop, through to the late ... Read more
