Description

Ramon Llull's The Book of the Order of Chivalry is a foundational text that explores the principles and practices of chivalric culture. Composed between 1274 and 1276, this work aimed to create and codify the rules for a unilateral Order of Chivalry, emphasizing loyalty, common sense, religious faith, education, and martial prowess as key components of success in the Holy Land and the Reconquista. This new English translation directly from the original Catalan text restores the nuances of Llull's prose, capturing his concise and austere style for the first time. The book provides valuable insights into medieval chivalric culture, making it an essential read for scholars and enthusiasts alike. Presented with introduction and notes, this edition offers a fresh perspective on a significant work of medieval literature.
