Dr. Philip Muscat, the Minister of Education, when delivering his opening speech to the crowd which thronged the historic building of the Mediterranean Conference Centre, on the occasion of the Second Malta International Book Fair, referred to the Fair as "young but healthy forward-looking".

  • From Generals to Generals : Aborted Insurrection, Painful Resurrection
    From Generals to Generals: 3 Aborted Insurrection, Painful Resurrection The sense of belonging to a religio-centric community has cradled patriotism and nationhood in modem times. The church was not only imperium in imperio in a wide sense; it was also to some extent a manifestation of the individual, of the particular, of the geographical environment. This cradling of patriotism by the institutional church was felt even in the Near East where Islam being a theocratic blueprint allowed less scope for it, yet scholars such as Rourani have argued that it is out of the religiousumma that the sense of a secular nationhood emerged. In situations where the ecc1esia and imperium are likely to be at odds, distinctions become easier and more formative. We have observed how it is wrong to conceive of the Rising of the Priests as an exclusively ecclesiastical occurrence. We emphasised the patriotic and political quality of the discourse that was being used, or indeed of the actions that were taken or contemplated from the accession of La Valette (indeed from the very arrival of the Order, which the Maltese nobility had reason to resent and to oppose), right down to the last days of the Order when Rompesch gave in the towel before entering the ring. 39 Malta's Quest for Independence The selection of references to 'i1 Popolo Maltese', to 'i Maltesi', and 'povera Malta' bring home to us how already in the early seventeenth century we had an embryonic nationalism. It was not the Jacobins who invented Mikiel Anton Vassalli ' s genius either for Malta as 'nazione' or for Maltese speakers as 'veri nazionali', although Vassalli's standpoint marks a note-worthy evolution in the sketching of nationality rights and self-image.

PREFACE Editor desires to say a few, a very few, THEwords of preface by way of explanation of the origin and object of the present volume. Its inception commenced with a successful illus- trated lecture delivered by Major Yate at the United Service Institution, which he wished the Order to reprint for general publication. The Council thought it expedient that the narrative should be somewhat enlarged, and circumstances preventing Major Yate from superintending the work, it was intrusted by the Council to the Genealogist, who again found it somewhat beyond his powers, and had to apply to the Librarian for assistance, especially in the later and more immediately interesting portions of the narrative, though retaining the general supervision of the whole. The Editor would adopt as his own the apology of " the author of the books of Maccabees : If I have done well, and as is fitting the story, it is that which I desired but if ; slenderly and meanly, it is that which I could attain unto."
