168 A HISTORY OF THE CRUSADES The Grand Company had first been organized by Roger de Flor of Brindisi, a turncoat Templar, shortly after the twenty years' war between the houses of Anjou and Aragon over possession of the island of Sicily had finally ended in the treaty of Caltabellotta (August 31, 1302). Members of the Company had helped maintain the energetic king Frederick II upon the throne of Sicily (1296— vénitiens dans 1'Archipel (1207—1390)," Orientalia Christiana periodica, XXVIII (1962), 121—172, 322—335; "La Chronique breve de 1352," ibid., XXIX (1963), 331—356, and )(XX (1964), 39—64; "Les Querini, comtes d'Astypalée (1413—1537)," ibid., XXX (1964), 385—397; "Une Page de Jérôme Zurita relative aux duchés catalans de Grèce (1386)," Revue des etudes byzantines, XIV (1956), 158—168; and "La Chronique breve moréote de 1423," in Mélanges Eugene Tisserant, II-1 (Studi e testi, no. 232; Vatican City, 1964), 399—439. A few of these articles, but unfortunately not those in the Archivum Fratrum Praedicatorum (the most important for our purpose), have recently been reprinted in R. J. Loenertz, Byzantina et Franco-Graeca, ed. Peter Schreiner (Rome, 1970). Among other recent works mention must be made of Antoine Bon's important study of La Morde franque: Recherches historiques, topographiques et archéologiques sur la princi pauté d'Achaie (1205—1 430) (2 vols., Paris, 1969). Jean Longnon has written a well-known account of L ' Empire latin de Constantinople et la principauté de Morée (Paris, 1949), and D. A. Zakythinos, an equally well-known history of Le Despotat grec de Morée (2 vols., Paris and Athens, 1932—1953). Freddy Thiriet has published the extremely useful Regestes des délibérations du sénat de Venise concernant la Romanie (3 vols., Paris and The Hague, 1958—1961), as well as a very readable book on La Romanie vénitienne au moyen-âge: Le Ddveloppement et l'exploitation du domaine colonial vénitien (XIIe-XVe siècles) (Paris, 1959). The Catalans figure prominently in Paul Lemerle's unusual monograph on L ' Emirat d'Aydin, Byzance et l'Occident: Recherches sur "La Geste d'Umur Pacha" (Paris, 1957). The once-perplexing problem of a Catalan duchess of Athens and some "mysterious documents" was cleared up in K. M. Setton, "Archbishop Pierre d'Ameil in Naples and the Affair of Aimon III of Geneva (1363—1364)," Speculum, XXVIII (1953), 643—691. Wil helm de Vries, S.J., has given, us a survey of papal efforts against schismatics and heretics in the fourteenth century, in "Die Papste von Avignon und der christliche Osten," Orientalia Christiana periodica, XXX (1964), 85—128, and we may also note the monograph by F. J. Boehlke, Jr., Pierre de Thomas: Scholar, Diplomat, and Crusader (Philadelphia, 1966), and that by G. Fedalto, Simone A tumano, monaco di studio, arcivescovo latino di Tebe (Brescia, 1968). On the latter subject, cf. also K. M. Setton, "The Archbishop Simon Atumano and the Fall of Thebes to the Navarrese in 1379," Byzantinisch-Neugriechische Jahrbucher, XVIII (1945—1949, publ. in 1960), 105—122, which study, together with the one on Pierre d'Ameil referred to above (as well as a number of others), has just been reprinted in Europe and the Levant in the Middle Ages and the Renaissance (London, 1974). Of various articles by Anthony T. Luttrell, in addition to those cited in the notes to chapter VIII, below, special attention should be called to the following: "The Principality of Achaea in 1377," Byzantinische Zeitschrift, LVII (1964), 340—345; "The Latins of Argos and Nauplia, 1311—1394," Papers of the British School at Rome, XXXIV (new series, vol. XXI, 1966), 34—55; "Malta and the Aragonese Crown (1282—1530)," Journal of the Faculty of Arts, Royal Malta University, III-1 (1965), 1—9, and "The House of Aragon and Malta: 1282—1412," ibid., IV-2 (1970), 156—168; "John Cantacuzenus and the Catalans at Constantinople," in Martinez Ferrando, Archivero: Miscelánea de estudios dedicados a su memoria (1968), pp. 265—277; and "Venezia e il principato di Acaia: secolo XIV," Studi veneziani, X (1968), 407—414.
