'...study of the military orders opens a window onto a wide array of concerns in European and Near Eastern history. It is to be hoped that the next installment of essays on this subject, based on a planned future conference, will offer as rich a harvest as this one does.' Church History, Vol. 69, No. 1 'Building upon the success of its predecessor, The Military Orders, Vol. II: Welfare and Warfare, ... sets new standards. The editing is superb and all the contents of considerable range, value and interest.' English Historical Review, Vol. 115, no. 461 '...any attempt in a short notice to sum up the findings of these thirty-three papers, read at the second conference on the military orders in 1996, would be foolish. For the most part, it will suffice to signal the importance of this series as an ongoing epitome of scholarly research into the history of the orders.' Journal of Ecclesiastical History, vol. 51, no. 2 '... this collection is every bit as good as, if not better than, the previous collection... This is largely because almost all the best historians working on the subject have been included... all have written works that clearly add to our knowledge of the history of these fighting monks... it should be on every university and college library shelf. the Journal of Military History 'The papers presented in this useful book...will enable us increasingly to understand the 'place' of the military orders in medieval and early modern society.' The International History Review 'This rich and diverse volume...rewards its readers, particularly with glimpses into the archives of parts of Europe hitherto scarcely accessible to English readers... Helen Nicholson has edited well this volume of diverse pickings, which no review can summarize. It rewards consulation not only by medieval historians, but by those interested and intrigued by the viability and malleability of institutions of care and relief.' Medical History
