Produktbeschreibung

This volume brings together recent and new research, with several items specially translated into English, on the sisters of the largest and most long-lived of the military-religious orders, the Hospital of St John of Jerusalem. It explores the roles which the Hospitaller sisters performed within their Order; examines the problems of having men and women living within the same or adjoining houses; studies relations between the Order and the patrons of its women's houses; and looks at the career of a prominent woman within the Order during the Middle Ages.
