5 Numerous publications by Jonathan Riley-Smİth and Anthony Luttrell, and the recent three-volume work of Pierre-Vincent Claverie on the Templars published by the Cyprus Research Centre (L’ordre du Temple en Terre Sainte et à Chypre au XIII siècle, Nicosia 2005). The essay is fraught with minor inaccuracies: p. 94: Richard’s sister Joanna and his bride-to-be Berengaria did not join the crusader army until it reached Sicily; p. 96: the Hospitallers had acquired properties on Cyprus by 1203; p. 99: the original structures at Kolossi are only very partially preserved, and most Lusignan kings were of course buried in the Dominican church of Nicosia.

6 Among the most significant: p. 12 (‘discovered in on the south coast’), p. 52 n.10 (‘according to Selon Spyridakİs’), p. 80 (‘inn other coastal cities’), p. 94 (‘with the Saladin’), pp. 96-97 (‘Famagosta’ instead of Famagusta used elsewhere), p. 116 (‘cures which it affected’), p. 131 (‘Makarios Kalarites’, ‘Constantine Etiles’), pp. 131 and 136 (‘Pavia’ for Padua); p. 136 (‘1423’ for 1473), p. 150 (‘historien’), p. 170 (René and Louis de Mas Latrie are two different authors, son and father), p. 183 (‘Millieux’ for Milliex).
