Formatting: 8vo, pp. xii, 464.

Condition Report: Fine. The book is presented in exceptionally crisp condition, retaining a firm, unread binding that feels entirely secure. The publisher's turquoise pictorial glazed boards are bright and immaculate, entirely free from the shelf-wear, rubbing, or corner-bumping that typically afflicts heavy volumes of this nature. Internally, the text block is pristine; the pages remain uniformly bright and clean, completely devoid of foxing, toning, or creasing, exhibiting sharp edges and flawless margins throughout. An outstanding, collector-grade example.

Catalogue Note: First edition. Issued as Volume 72 in Brill's esteemed The Medieval Mediterranean: Peoples, Economies and Cultures, 400-1500 series. The volume is bound in the publisher's original pictorial glazed boards and was issued without a dust jacket. The front board reproduces a photograph taken by the author of the Templar church of Santa Maria di Isana.

True 2008 first printings of this rigorous academic work are increasingly scarce on the open market, as many current offerings are later Print-on-Demand reproductions or digital derivatives.

Providing the first comprehensive reconstruction of the Templar presence in North-west Italy, this scholarly work draws upon extensive archival research to illuminate the development and organisation of the Order between 1142 and 1330. Bellomo examines the crucial links between local Templar houses and the Latin East, detailing their recruitment strategies, their involvement in the power struggles between the Papacy and the Empire, and their complex relationships with lay and ecclesiastical institutions. Crucially, the trial records analysed within shed new light on the region's unique historical landscape, revealing instances where local support successfully defied the charges levelled against the Knights Templar.

Book Condition Guide

We stock thousands of books in a wide range of conditions. To make things clear and to help you know exactly what to expect, Please refer to these condition categories to understand the condition of the book you will receive.

Condition	Description
New	A brand-new, unread and professionally handled book. Carefully preserved from publication to purchase, these books are offered in the best attainable condition. This grade applies to recently published titles that have not entered long-term storage.
As New	The book is in pristine, original condition as if just published. No signs of use or handling. The dust jacket (if present) is equally flawless. This grade applies to any book that has remained untouched in storage for years.
Fine	The book is close to As New. It remains bright and attractive, but could show minor imperfections to the boards and/or dust jacket (if present). Its pages are typically clean and unmarked.
Near Fine	The book has a number of small flaws, i.e. slight rubbing to the edges, or tiny chips or creases to the dust jacket (if present). Its pages may have faint marks, or creases that are barely perceptible — nothing that detracts from their overall condition.
Very Good	The book maintains its structural integrity, and has no major flaws such as tears to its binding or pages. It may, however, show signs of careful use, handling, or storage — small marks and creases, light foxing. Its dust jacket (if present) remains fully intact, but small tears may be present.
Good	A book that remains intact and readable with complete text pages, but shows moderate signs of wear and use to both the book and dust jacket (if present). It may have noticeable creases, nicks, or stains, and the spine likely shows fading, bumping, and rubbing. There could be writing, underlining, and other marks on some pages, though the majority will be clean and tidy.
Fair	A book with significant wear or damage. The text pages will be complete, but there may be heavy underlining, highlighting and staining throughout, and the book’s endpapers, half-title, and copyright pages could be damaged or missing. The binding could be loose, and the dust jacket (if present) may have notable scuffs or tears. These copies are usually of interest for content, signature(s) or scarcity.
Poor	A heavily worn book whose value lies in its complete and legible text. A poor book will have substantial defects — loose joints or hinges, detached covers, loose and/or missing pages, and could be heavily soiled. A poor book is also known as a reading copy, and although compromised, can hold historical or bibliographic significance.
