Anthony Luttrell

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. Provided by Wikipedia
