- Abstract
"The Autumn of the Order. The Teutonic Order in 16th century Livonia" by Juhan Kreem is a comprehensive book that examines the history of the Teutonic Order in Livonia during the 16th century. The author explores various aspects of the Order, including its internal structure, exercise of power, and economy. The book also discusses the impact of the Reformation, secularization, and warfare on the Order. Based on extensive research of archival sources, the author argues against the idea of the Order's decline, attributing its collapse to external political factors rather than internal decline. The text provides new information and perspectives on the Teutonic Order in Livonia during this period, offering a detailed history for researchers.
