St Paul, therefore, became the patron saint of Malta and the Maltese H.E. Bishop Mario Grech, Hon. Giovanna Debono, called him their 'father'.

    Maltese Newsletter 82 May 2015

    Maltese Newsletter 82 May 2015 Map of the European Union www.ozmalta.page4.me Page 1 Maltese Newsletter 82 May 2015 Walking in my grandparents footsteps in Malta People recognized me as Maltese…most said it was my eyes and complexion that gave it away. My “I LOVE MALTA” t- shirt was a hit with the locals (and I think a bit of a turn off at times), although it did point out to everyone that I was definitely a tourist. The locals all took time to ask about where my family was from and were so proud of their heritage and happy to share recipes and suggestions of places to visit. We spent a lot of our time in Malta with these locals, yesterday’s strangers. I took pride in telling them the family surnames: Cassar, Briffa, Fenech and Sultana. The Cassar name is everywhere there. There is Cassar Street (named after the architect Gerolimo Cassar), Cassar and Cooper Real Estate, Cassar names on the mail boxes and even on dumpsters. When we visited Mgarr it was the start of holy week (the Friday before Good Friday). The city felt deserted, there were no tourists there and this is what we wanted. This was a typical Maltese village and we were here for a nice quiet dinner. What we didn’t realize was that we were about to meet the whole town. At exactly 5.45pm all the ‘villagers’ gathered at the church for mass and for the procession around the town to mark the start of Holy Week.

    A Mysterious Book by Mikiel Anton Vassalli?

    GIOVANNI BONELLO A MYSTERIOUS BOOK BY MIKIEL ANTON VASSALLI? An important book on Malta, published anonymously in Paris in 1798, may be the work of Mikiel Anton Vassalli, the father of Maltese nationhood. Shortly after Napoleon captured Malta in June 1798, a French editor, C.F. Cramer, printed a historical and political 'Michelin' of Malta: Recherches Historiques et Politiques sur Malte par···. There was a pressing need for such a publication, as very little about Malta was currently available in French at that time. The author, who was definitely Maltese, wanted with his book to demonstrate his "devotion and admiration for France, and his affection for his native land" 1. Although Malta had not been legally incorporated into the French jurisdiction, he believed that, "in the common interest of the two nations, the Maltese would soon clamour for union with France,,2. The identity of the anonymous author of these Recherches has remained shrouded in mystery. Charles Wilkinson, an intelligent visitor to Malta, writing in 1804, obviously admired the book and translated into English large portions of it, without hazarding a guess as to its authorship 3. So did many other authors 4 . Attributed to Onorato Bres As far as I have been able to establish, it was only in 1885 that Ferdinand De Hellwald's Bibliographie5 first attributed the Recherches to Onorato Bres6. Hellwald, an erudite bookworm, refers to no authority in support of his attribution to Bres. Though Hellwald's bibliography is certainly invaluable, it is hardly always infallible. This attribution of the Recherches to Bres is very suspect.
