The Order of Chivalry: 8. Endurance and the Knight's Coat

A piece for neo-medieval pipe organ.
"The Book of the Order of Chivalry" (c. 1275), was written by Ramon Llull (1232-1315), a polymath and Christian mystic from Majorca. Llull thought that knights should be chosen, trained, and ordained like priests. Llull’s book became a handbook of chivalry throughout much of Europe. Being a Christian mystic, of course he writes about Chivalry using Christian vocabulary. But I think his ideas transcend any particular Spiritual Tradition.
In this piece, Llull compares Endurance to the Knight's coat. For more detail, see here:
