The studies in the present volume, on the history of the Order of the Hospital between 1306 and 1522, are not only concerned with the part it played in the defence of the Latin Levant, but also with its role in Western society. The first articles deal with the settlement of Rhodes, the conflicts with the Turks, and with the Hospitallers' participation in crusading expeditions. As important, however, is the question of how they managed to support their military achievements. Drawing on the results of many years' research into the archives of the Hospital, both in Malta and in the provincial archives, Dr Luttrell examines their administration of the Rhodian islands and details some of the resources they drew from elsewhere, notably the West, whether in terms of recruitment, money raising or the exploitation of their estates. Particular attention is given to the Hospitaller properties in Italy and Spain, and to the nature of Hospitaller life in these western priories and commanderies. Les �tudes regroup�es dans le pr�sent volume, qui traitent de l'histoire de l'Ordre de l'Hôpital entre 1306 et 1522, ne s'attachent pas seulement au rôle jou� par celui-ci dans la d�fense du Levant latin, mais aussi � son rôle dans la soci�t� occidentale. Les premiers articles s'int�ressent � la colonisation de Rhodes, aux conflits avec les Turcs et � la participation des membres de l'Ordre aux exp�ditions crois�es. La question de savoir comment ils parvinrent � financer leurs exploits militaires reste toutefois importante; s'appuyant sur les r�sultats obtenus apr�s de nombreuses ann�es de recherches dans les archives de l'Hôpital, � Malte et en province, le Dr Luttrell examine leur administration des îles rhodiennes et fait un compte-rendu qu'ils tir�rent d'ailleurs, notamment de l'Ouest, que ce soit en terme de recrutement, de collecte de fonds ou d'exploitation de leurs terres. Une attention plus particuli�re est port�e sur
