The Town of Rhodes 1306–1356 (2003)
Anthony Luttrell (born 1932) is a British medieval historian best known for his extensive research on the Knights Hospitaller and the history of the Order of St John in Rhodes and Malta during the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries.
Over a career spanning more than five decades, he has held teaching and research posts across Europe and North America, including at the University of Edinburgh, the British School at Rome, the Royal University of Malta and Princeton University. A prolific scholar, Luttrell has published more than 250 works, monographs, edited volumes, and collected studies that have shaped the modern understanding of the Hospitallers' political, social and cultural roles in the medieval Mediterranean.
His contributions have been recognised with major academic honours, including the Humboldt Research Award and the Prix Gustave Schlumberger of the Académie des Inscriptions et Belles-Lettres. A 2016 Festschrift, The Hospitallers, the Mediterranean and Europe highlighted his influence on crusader and Mediterranean historiography.
From 1986 to 1987 Luttrell held the Instituto Español Vicente Cañada Blanch University of London Senior Fellowship in Spain.[4] Between 1987 and 1988, Luttrell was affiliated with the University of Würzburg, Germany, under the support of the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation. In 1988, he was appointed a Leverhulme research officer with the Venerable Order of St John of Jerusalem in London.[4] He returned to the British School at Rome as a Balsdon Senior Fellow from 1992 to 1993.[d] In 1993, he was appointed director of research at IRHT/CNRS in Orléans, France.[4] Luttrell returned to the University of Würzburg from 1999 to 2000 after receiving the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation Research Prize for foreign humanities scholars.[6]
Since 2001, Luttrell has been an honorary research associate at the Hellenic Institute, Royal Holloway, University of London, focusing on the Knights Hospitaller in Rhodes and Malta, as well as the Greek population of Rhodes during the medieval period.[7][8] Luttrell's research on the Knights of the Order of the Hospital of St John of Jerusalem in Rhodes and Malta integrated archival investigation with archaeological studies during the 1970s and 1980s, providing insight into Malta's early and medieval history.[9] Over the course of his career, he has published more than 250 works, including a six-volume collected study published by Routledge. Widely regarded as the foremost historian of the Hospitallers in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries,[10][4] his notable contributions include Studies on the Hospitallers after 1306: Rhodes and the West (2007), The Town of Rhodes 1306–1356 (2003) and Hospitaller Women in the Middle Ages, co-authored with Medieval historian Helen J. Nicholson (2006).[11]
Luttrell's research has been recognised as central to the study of the Hospitallers in the late medieval Mediterranean, with reviewers highlighting his extensive use of archival sources and his lasting influence on crusader historiography.[10][13]
