A History of the Knights of Malta or the Order of St. John of Jerusalem by Whitworth Porter is a comprehensive account of the Knights of Malta, an ancient order of chivalry that originated during the Crusades. The book traces the history of the order from its early days as a hospice for pilgrims in Jerusalem to its later role as a powerful military force in the Mediterranean. The author provides detailed information about the order's founding, its religious and military mission, and its various struggles and triumphs throughout the centuries. He also explores the order's relationship with other prominent historical figures and groups such as the Ottoman Empire, the Papacy, and the Knights Templar. Porter's work is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of the Knights of Malta, the Crusades, or medieval Europe in general. It is well-researched, engagingly written, and filled with fascinating anecdotes and insights into the lives of the knights and the challenges they faced. Overall, A History of the Knights of Malta or the Order of St. John of Jerusalem is a must-read for anyone interested in the rich and complex history of this ancient order of chivalry.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
