The Military Orders: Bibliographies
Paul Crawford and Erik Opsahl
It is the intent of the editors to update these bibliographies continually.
We invite the submission of new material, particularly works of an obscure
nature. Eventually we hope to include virtually all material relating to
the military orders.
The bibliographies are in two main parts.
The first part (The Military Orders: Initial Bibliography) contains some
of the most up-to-date works of the highest scholarship, as well as the
most recent English translations of the orders' rules, and is recommended
to those who are beginning an investigation of the Military Orders. Every
effort has been made to limit the works in the Initial Bibliography to
English, but in some areas the only good secondary sources are in other
languages. This is particularly true for materials relating to the
Teutonic Knights.
The second part (The Military Orders: Extended Bibliographies) contains
works of varying date and of varying reliability; this bibliography is
intended for in-depth research use.
