Texts and Documents
MedicalHistory, 1977,21:182-186. Texts and Documents AN EIGHTEENTH-CENTURY BILL OF HEALTH OF THE ORDER OF ST. JOHN FROM MALTA by PAUL CASSAR* DURING iTS two hundred and sixty-eight years of domination over the Maltese Islands (1530-1798), the Order of St. John of Jerusalem waged an unceasing war against the Barbary and Turkish pirates in the Mediterranean. Those who escaped death were enslaved by the victor, irrespective of sex or age, or whether they were combatants or simply passengers and crews of unarmed vessels; so much so that slavery came to form a sort of institution regulated by definite rules concerning the selling, employment and ransoming of captives by either side. A Maltese boy, Gio Maria Zammit, was captured by the Barbary corsairs in 1734 at the age of fifteen years and sold as a slave at Tripoli in North Africa. After twelve years in captivity he renounced the Catholic faith and turned Moslem, as he was constrained to do by his master. He subsequently married a Moslem girl by whom he had several children. He finally succeeded in escaping from Tripoli after forty-three years in captivity, and reached Rome with his fourteen-year-old son Joseph. Gio Maria Zammit, by this time sixty-five years old, abjured the Moslem religion, became reconciled with the Catholic faith and had his son baptised in Rome. He eventually came with his son to Malta but being unable to find work, he decided to return to Rome in search of employment. In those days no one could leave Malta without the express permission of the Grand Court of the Castellania. -
Treason's Harbour
Treason's Harbour Aubrey - Maturin Series BOOK NINE by Patrick O'Brian 'Smoothe runnes the Water, where the Brooke is deepe. And in his simple shew he harbours Treason.' Henry VI CHAPTER ONE A gentle breeze from the north-east after a night of rain, and the washed sky over Malta had a particular quality in its light that sharpened the lines of the noble buildings, bringing out all the virtue of the stone; the air too was a delight to breathe, and the city of Valletta was as cheerful as though it were fortunate in love or as though it had suddenly heard good news. This was more than usually remarkable in a group of naval officers sitting in the bowered court of Searle's hotel. To be sure, they looked out upon the arcaded Upper Baracca, filled with soldiers, sailors and civilians pacing slowly up and down in a sunlight so brilliant that it made even the black hoods the Maltese women wore look gay, while the officers' uniforms shone like splendid flowers. A cosmopolitan crowd, for although most of the colour was the scarlet and gold of the British army many of the nations engaged in the war against Napoleon were represented and the shell-pink of Kresimir's Croats, for example, made a charming contrast with the Neapolitan hussars' silver-laced blue. And then beyond and below the Baracca there was the vast sweep of the Grand Harbour, pure sapphire today, flecked with the sails of countless small craft plying between Valletta and the great fortified headlands on the other side, St Angelo and Isola, and the men-of-war, the troopships and the victuallers, a sight to please any sailor's heart. -

It has taken various forms and its intensity has varied over time. This century promises to be one of considerable population movements as a consequence of demographic changes presently underway. As populations in the ‘developed’ world plummet it is calculated that countries like Germany, for example, will have to import a million migrants of working age per year by the year 2020, as their own populations become older (The Economist 1 November 2001 Survey: The Next Society). But the clamour for workers from the business sector is often drowned by the opposition to migrants from other sections of society. When these migrant communities are from a markedly different cultural background, with a different religion, a different ethnicity and so on, the tensions can be even greater. Events like the 11 September 2001 and its aftermath have shown how these transnational communities are often percieved as threats to established lifestyles and state security, and potential sources of international terrorism. These transnational communities are often referred to as ethnic diasporas. The term ‘diaspora’, of Greek origin and meaning ‘dispersion’ or ‘scattering’, has come to refer to a very broad range of situations including: migrants in general; political, religious and other refugees and expellees; ethnic and racial minorities and aliens; and so on. -

The Gozo Prisons Graffiti
THE GOZO PRISONS GRAFFITI Joseph Muscat & Joanne Cassar PART I- THE GRAFFITI The tradition of engraving on walls one's name or a distinguishing mark runs through the ages. In the Maltese Islands it dates back to the Tarxien period (2500- 2000 B.C.) and a number of public places exhibit modern graffiti as if to perpetuate this practice. By graffiti we refer to the incision, scribbling or scratching on stone walls of pictures of ships or other symbols, names, dates or the length of time spent in a prison cell. It is interesting to note that graffiti in the Maltese Islands have been found mainly on the interior and exterior walls of churches, walls of prison cells, dungeons, internal yards of the Order's Court of Justice, coastal towers and other similar locations. In places of fortune or in places of misfortune man thought it fit to leave his imprint for posterity. Some of the graffiti under survey are simple primitive representations of ships which add no technical data to what we already know. They are crude caricatures of ships of the period. It must be emphasised that no accurate dating can be deduced from such graffiti; approximations are attempted on the basis of experience in ship recognition. These ship graffiti were never intended to be accurate records of naval architecture. Therefore, there should not be over-reading in these rudimentary and diagrammatical engravings. They should be treated simply as the most direct evidence, pictorial too, drawn by salt-hardened people themselves as rough, graphic designs, the product of course men. -
