4.9/5 (14437 ratings)

Description:This English translation of Vertot's most famous work was originally published in 5 volumes in 1757. It gives a lively account of the history of the Order from its earliest beginnings to the conclusion of the Great Siege of Malta, supplemented by succinct Annals of the order to the year 1725. In the course of these 600 years we are treated to the formation and expansion of the Templars, their rivalry with the Hospitallers, and their ultimate dissolution; to the corruption and greed of many of the popes and cardinals (leading to the work being banned by the Vatican); to the rise of the Turks and of Mahometanism; to the heroism and barbarism of warfare and sieges. Three discourses, or dissertations, are included in the History: 1. A Discourse upon the Alcoran 2. A Dissertation upon the Ancient and Modern Government of the Religious and Military Order of St. John of Jerusalem 3. A Dissertation on two Cotemporary and Original Historians who relate the same facts, but with circumstances so very different, that they entirely alter the nature of it. An expanded index and a glossary of obsolete words completes this Kindle edition. The five volumes are also available as separate Kindle books. You may also enjoy: — Blaise de Monluc: Selections from the Commentaires. The military adventures of a hot-headed Gascon who fought his way through 50 years to become a marshal of France. [ASIN: B00TZAQ7HG] — Duelling Stories of the Sixteenth Century by Brantôme. [ASIN: B00T8NCGH0] — The Hawkins' Voyages.
