Was reading a bit by @medievaldaniel and he mentions the Annales Marbacenses, a second hand account of Frederick Barbarossa's time on the third crusade. Thought I'd see what it looks like since it's digitized.. (second pic)

Make sure you're vote is informed. Skim through all the titles available on Lex and make your decision about which book the Athenaeum Book Club should read next.

Returning in 2026— The Chivalry Book Club January: Two Swords of Christ (Ibrahim) February: The Four Cardinal Virtues (Pieper) March: The Book of the Order of Chivalry (Lull) April: Ivanhoe (Scott) May: The Last Crusade (Carroll) June: Always With Honor (Wrangel) July: Idylls of the King (Tennyson) August: The Conquest of New Spain (Bernal Diaz) September: Beowulf October: The War in the Vendée (Hill) November: Religion and the Rise of Western Culture (Dawson) December: Sir Gawain and the Green Knight I'm aiming for a proper mix of history, literature, virtue ethics, and more, medieval and modern. The plan is to read the books and gather for Spaces at the end of the month to discuss. (Rumor has it that Raymond Ibrahim will be joining us at the end of January to talk his new book.) Some of these conversations might be open to all, but most will be for subscribers to the Chivalry Guild. We will also have more informal weekly Spaces for subscribers to discuss all things chivalric and chivalry-adjacent (virtue, vitality, history, politics, strategy, great men, etc). Sign up if interested and stay tuned!









Books for me? Yeah, no kidding.
