Chivalry is what defines the status and purpose of the Knight and in modern times the Knight is neither a noble title nor a hereditary class distinction, it is neither the acclamation of useless talent nor the honoring of celebrity status. Knighthood is the measure of a man and the level of integrity required for exceptionalism. A Knight is still the elite of mankind. The worth of a man is determined by the benefit of those whom he has affected. The Code of Chivalry is much more an ideology ? an attitude, belief system, and philosophy ? than a tangible set of rules or actions. However, with every form of ideology there are definite tangibles; the ?always? and the ?nevers.? There are unbreakable laws that are necessary for the ideal to exist. Herein I have included a basic outline of chivalric principles that are foundational to any Code one may develop or adopt. These principles are the bedrock of the chivalric ideal.

Whether you are a lover of Medieval European history, serve in the military, a martial artist, or seek to understand the legacy of the European warrior ethos and how Chivalry applies to the modern man, then this book is for you. The Chivalric Code- written by a former Marine, lifelong martial artist and theologian- accomplishes three great tasks. First, it outlines the need for a revival of Chivalry as a western warrior ethos. Second, the book surveys the various chivalric codes of the European Middle Ages, meshing them into a common list of twelve virtues. Third, the author masterfully writes a poem for each of the twelve virtues in an ancient Celtic form that not only gives reverence to the legacy of Chivalry, but aids the modern practitioner in their memorization. Whether you are a combatant on the literal battlefield, competing in martial tournaments, on the battlefield of business, or a spiritual leader- if you are looking for an authentic Knightly code to govern yourself by- you must absorb this book into your life. The Chivalric Code has been peer reviewed by some of the greatest Historical European Martial Artists (HEMA) and scholars of our time. Many of their reviews are included in the work and excerpts are given on the back cover. The Author, Jonathan Nathaniel Hayes, has spent his life as a literal and spiritual warrior. He has not only served honorably as a United States Marine, but also as an ordained minister. he is also the author of "A Mix of Mud and Stardust: The Poetry Prose and Prophecies of a Celtic Christian"And"MUSH: Leadership Lessons Learned from a Lead Dog."

The true knights of the Middle Ages were passionate about their faith, their relationship with Christ, and their dedication to living by the virtues of Scripture. The order of knighthood was esteemed by all, pursued by many, yet held by only few. The lifestyles, virtues, and commitments held by these knightswho were half warriors and half priestswere second to none in the medieval era, as well as today. The order of knighthood provided a code to live bya set of guidelines and practices that instilled honor, strength, and valor. This same order also served to set their lives on a track that helped safeguard them against self-inflicted trouble and heartache, insuring they could enjoy Gods best for their lives.

Orders of Knighthood are the most exclusive and prestigious institutions in the world. Originally the preserve of royalty and aristocracy, they now include amongst their membership tycoons such as Rupert Murdoch, entertainers (Sir Mick Jagger, for example) and world leaders (Nelson Mandela). Burke's Peerage and Gentry have now produced a major new study of the extant orders of knighthood and merit of every state, the result of the collaboration of many of the world's leading specialists. The first section commences with detailed histories of the surviving confraternal orders, beginning with the famous Order of Malta. The second section includes histories of all the great European single class Collar Orders, by date of foundation, beginning with the Order of the Garter (England) and including the Orders from Austria, Denmark, Germany, Italy, Poland, Scotland, Spain and Sweden. The third includes histories of the most prestigious Orders of Chivalry and the remaining sections include one devoted to royal dynastic Orders, another to ladies' Orders and the largest section: State Merit Orders. The main portion ends with a section on institutions of chivalric character. Each Order's purpose, structure, investiture details, officers and membership requirements will be listed along with details of the insignia. These lavishly illustrated, full colour volumes also include illustrations of the uniforms, robes and insignia as well as photographs and paintings of related places and people, diplomas, armorial bearings and ceremonies of investiture. This unique volume will be of great interest to academics, historians, collectors and members of any of the numerous international orders.

More than any other writer, Raymond Chandler (1888-1959) is responsible for raising detective stories from the level of pulp fiction to literature. Chandler's hard-boiled private eye Philip Marlowe set the standard for rough, brooding heroes who managed to maintain a strong sense of moral conviction despite a cruel and indifferent world. Chandler's seven novels, including The Big Sleep (1939) and The Long Goodbye (1953), with their pessimism and grim realism, had a direct influence on the emergence of film noir. Chandler worked to give his crime novels the flavor of his adopted city, Los Angeles, which was still something of a frontier town, rife with corruption and lawlessness. In addition to novels, Chandler wrote short stories and penned the screenplays for several films, including Double Indemnity (1944) and Strangers on a Train (1951). His work with Billy Wilder and Alfred Hitchcock on these projects was fraught with the difficulties of collaboration between established directors and an author who disliked having to edit his writing on demand. Creatures of Darkness is the first major biocritical study of Chandler in twenty years. Gene Phillips explores Chandler's unpublished script for Lady in the Lake, examines the process of adaptation of the novel Strangers on a Train, discusses the merits of the unproduced screenplay for Playback, and compares Howard Hawks's director's cut of The Big Sleep with the version shown in theaters. Through interviews he conducted with Wilder, Hitchcock, Hawks, and Edward Dmytryk over the past several decades, Phillips provides deeper insight into Chandler's sometimes difficult personality. Chandler's wisecracking Marlowe has spawned a thousand imitations. Creatures of Darkness lucidly explains the author's dramatic impact on both the literary and cinematic worlds, demonstrating the immeasurable debt that both detective fiction and the neo-noir films of today owe to Chandler's stark vision.

This book offers a reading particularly of Part II of Don Quixote, a reading that is embedded in a philosophical reflection on the revelation of religious truth in and through literature. Part II of Don Quixote is the far richer part for its meta-literary reflection on the novel itself as a genre and on life as such seen through the lens of self-reflection. The author has treated the phenomenon of modern self-reflexivity as originally theological in nature in previous publications (notably Dante’s Paradiso and the Theological Origins of Modern Thought: Toward a Speculative Philosophy of Self-Reflection, Routledge, 2021). The present endeavor expands this overall intellectual project, extending it into detailed consideration of what is recognizably another nodal great work inaugurating unprecedented forms of self-reflection in the early modern period. Reading the founding texts of literary and cultural tradition in this negative-theological key proves crucial to allowing them to release the full force of their religious vision in the present age, despite its sometimes obstinate secularity. This reading absorbs and reconciles the religious and secular readings of Miguel de Unamuno and José Ortega y Gasset, two of Spain’s outstanding philosophical luminaries. Both thinkers based their entire philosophies and their analyses of the Spanish national character and destiny on their interpretations of the Quixote. Negative theology deploys critical reason that critiques the limits of reason itself and opens toward an unfathomable (un)ground of All. Such speculative interpretation performs a synthesis of the secularizing and sacralizing tendencies that are both sublimely operative in the text of the Quixote. It thereby enables the work to emerge in the fully parodic and paradoxical vitality that other interpretations, governed by one paradigm or the other, access only partially. Rather than falling into one camp or the other, the proposed approach combines and resources both heritages, sacred and secular, in their deepest synergisms. Spanish baroque mysticism and contemporary post-secular thought are made to converge in highlighting the blessed, even sacred, donation that literature like Don Quixote preserves and transmits as our most precious and saving cultural heritage.
