It provides some general considerations about the Cabrei and how they are organized in the national collection. The chapter focuses on two particular volumes: Cabrei 290 and 307. It also provides certain other features that appear in some of the illustrations of the two volumes, particular reference being made to costumes, farming practices and landscape. After describing the general characteristics of these two Cabrei, the chapter examines the typical property that the Order possessed in the Maltese islands during the eighteenth century, which included rural and urban houses, palazzi, landed estates and windmills. It outlines two case studies: a townhouse listed in Cabreo 307 and a typical rural house, both pertaining to the eighteenth century. Cabreo 290 documents an entire list of farming estates and smaller parcels of agricultural land.","PeriodicalId":222367,"journal":{"name":"The Military Orders Volume VII","volume":"611 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-08-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116453699","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Order of Calatrava and its subsidiaries, along with the Order of Santiago, were the most important military orders in the region, and both carried out hospitality and care functions alongside their military duties. The Order of Santiago pursued the vocation of hospitality, providing support both for its own brothers and also for society at large through two vocations: assistance and redemption. The specific characteristics of the project to reconstruct the hospital of Alarcon reveal rich and interesting information in terms of the historical reality of the Order of Santiago during the final years of the Middle Ages. The hospital of Alarcon was one of the few hospitals of the order which existed at the end of the Middle Ages, and it played an important role in all the processes.","PeriodicalId":222367,"journal":{"name":"The Military Orders Volume VII","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-08-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134575074","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The acreage Templar estates encompassed, as the Bologna deeds record for the time indicated, is measured in tornature, a unit equivalent to 2,080 square metres. The chapter focuses on information gathered from archival sources as well as archaeological, palynological samples. The Templar Order was established throughout Europe in commanderies, focused mainly on agricultural production that supported, logistically and financially, the defence of the Holy Land. Research in local archives, particularly in the archiepiscopal archive of Ravenna, revealed documents related to the local trial and the properties of the Bolognese Templars, supplying with a lot of information concerning the commandery, including its layout, purpose and composition. Most of the Templar holdings in the city and environs produced cereal crops; the rest included vineyards, vegetables and pasturage.","PeriodicalId":222367,"journal":{"name":"The Military Orders Volume VII","volume":"383 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-08-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124765415","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The history of the Grand Priory’s relations with the Most Serene Republic in early modern times is in part the story of that notably large branch of Mediterranean piracy which operated from its base on Hospitaller Malta under cover of the eight-pointed cross. From the indications gleaned from surviving documentation, it would appear historically inaccurate to entertain the perception that the story of the Grand Priory of Venice was marked by an inherently natural disposition towards pugnacity. Venice’s pugnacity towards the Order of the Hospital was deep-rooted and may well have had its origins in the traditional tension, at times deep antagonism that existed between ‘the city of the doges and the city of the popes’.","PeriodicalId":222367,"journal":{"name":"The Military Orders Volume VII","volume":"71 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-08-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132915766","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
