Join Dr Stephen Mossman for a new podcast series inspired by the historic library collection at the Museum of the Order of St John.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

In this podcast series, through the historic library collection of the Museum of the Order of St John and guided by Dr Stephen Mossman<\/a>, we will travel across Europe meeting the literary witnesses to the lives of the men and women who joined, supported, or were helped by the Order of St John in past times. In each episode we take an item off the shelves from the Museum\u2019s historic library collection in the West Tower of St John\u2019s Gate, and explore different aspects of the Hospitallers\u2019 history that it leads us to investigate.<\/p>\n

The Museum of the Order of St John has launched a new podcast series featuring novel research into the history of the Order of St John in the later medieval and early modern periods\u2014when the Order was headquartered on Rhodes and Malta, and our priory here in London was built. Each episode begins as we take an item off the shelves from our historic library collection in the West Tower of St John\u2019s Gate, and explore different aspects of our history that it leads us to investigate.<\/p>\n

\"OfftheShelves\"<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Over the course of the six episodes we\u2019ll be taking a closer look at subjects ranging from indulgences, to pilgrimage, charitable donation and care for the sick\u2014the hospitals for which the Order has been rightly famed from its inception to the present day. If you are now wondering what an indulgence actually is, what the real purpose of pilgrimage was, or even what the medieval equivalent of a food bank looked like, we\u2019ll be answering these questions and more besides.<\/p>\n

Our host is Dr Stephen Mossman of the University of Manchester, whose ongoing research into the history of the Order has drawn on the manuscripts and early printed books in our library. We\u2019ll travel across Europe, from London to the Holy Land by way of Rhodes and even Strasbourg, meeting the literary witnesses to the lives of the men and women who joined, supported, or were helped by the Order in past times. There will also be shorter instalments online to introduce some of the other great treasures on our library shelves.<\/p>\n

This project builds upon the cataloguing of the historic library that a generous donation to the Museum recently made possible, as we look to unlock the stories that our library contains and make them accessible in new ways. The podcast series has been funded by the British Academy as part of Stephen\u2019s research into the history of our Order in the German-speaking lands, a subject on which his own book should be published and join the shelves of our library in not too many years.<\/p>\n

We would love to hear from you, our listeners! We will be recording a special podcast at the end of the series to answer your questions\u2014so if there is anything that comes to your mind to ask, whether about the history, the books themselves, the Museum or anything else, or any other feedback or commentary you would like to give, do please write to us at museum@sja.org.uk<\/a> and we\u2019ll do our best to answer!<\/p>\n
