The University of S. 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.
