| Abstract: | This paper gives a summary of the Statutes of the Houses of Gevenn and Sedorf within the Order of St Lazarus of Jerusalem published in Latin at Gfenn in 1418. Following a translation made by himself into English and summary of the same document, Chev. Prof. Horatio Vella will go through the contents, which vary from the conduct of the elections held by the Commendator, through legal procedures adopted in times of disagreements with the same Commendator, to all the obligations expected from the Commendator and the two Mistresses of the two mentioned Houses. The paper will highlight important and interesting points evident in this document and will also discuss the Latin used in it. |
