Maria Portus Salutis Abstract: A study of an old and little known Studium Generale existing in Malta more than two centuries ago would be a further contribution to my previous publications on the history of education in our Island. Luckily, in the Archives of the Dominican Priory of Valletta, we have still extant the Registers of the Matricul a Studiorum, the deliberations taken by the Regent of Studies and his Council, the various petitions and dispensations of the Sacred Congregation of Studies, Diplomas of Sacred Theology Degrees and invitation cards to attend at public disputations. 1962-01-01T00:00:00Z The ransom of the peasants : a dramatic poem in five acts : act 2 /library/oar/handle/123456789/38767 2019-01-22T02:35:04Z 1962-01-01T00:00:00Z Title: The ransom of the peasants : a dramatic poem in five acts : act 2 Abstract: Anthony Cremona, our authority on Maltese Grammar, the author of ll-Fidwa tal-Bdiewa (The Ransom of the Peasants), who has distinguished himself in several linguistic fields, was born in Gozo on May 27, 1880. His earliest interests were literary, mainly Italian literature. It was not before he was thirty two years of age that, after the encouragement he received from the leading novelist and poet of the time, Guze Muscat Azzopardi (1853-1927), he began to take literary and philological interest also in the Maltese Language, with the assistance of the Maltese grammarian Ganni Vassallo (1862-1937), himself an authority on Maltese orthography.

Nuovi impegni e varie incombenze ormai non mi lasciano piu tempo di sfruttare in simile modo, a base comparativa, il materiale delIa poesia religiosa popolare che ho raccolto dal 1940 in qua, principalmente nell'Isola del Gozo durante il triste periodo dell'ultima Guerra. Percio ho stimato giusto pubblicare i soli testi dei canti, ossia preghiere popolari, con traduzione italiana, che spero riuscira di qualche utile per gli studiosi di letteratura popolare. 1962-01-01T00:00:00Z Before a crucifix /library/oar/handle/123456789/38653 2019-01-19T02:55:42Z 1962-01-01T00:00:00Z Title: Before a crucifix Abstract: Based on a blasphemous poem of the same title by Swinbume, from which are taken the first lines of the 33 stanzas of my poem. 1962-01-01T00:00:00Z
