Michael Gervers THE HOSPITALLER CARTULARY IN THE BRITISH LIBRARY (COTTON MS NERO E VI) A Study of the Manuscript and its Composition With a Critical Edition of Two Fragments of Earlier Cartularies for Essex This volume is a comprehensive analysis of the content and historical composition of the mid-fifteenth-century cartulary of the Knights of St. [...] The study illuminates both the archival organization of the Hospitallers, and the administration of its rural estates, because, with changes in estate management came changes in the arrangement of its archives.
