During the second part of the talk, Mr Borg spoke about various important elements which form a part of any siege and which are normally taken for- granted. These included such things as communications, supplies of food and munitions, medical stations and hospitals to take care of the wounded, biological warfare, psychological warfare, espionage and public health measures. Various types of weaponry used during the siege were also described.

    TUNIS’S NEW MOSQUES CONSTRUCTED BETWEEN 1975 AND 1995: MORPHOLOGICAL KNOWLEDGE Imen Cherif National School of Architecture and Urbanism University of Carthage Tunis, Tunisia [email protected] Najla Allani Bouhoula National School of Architecture and Urbanism University of Carthage Tunis, Tunisia [email protected] Received: March 27th 2015 ; Accepted: April 27th 2015; Available Online: June 15th 2015 Abstract The mosque has always been a prominent unit that used to structure the old Islamic cites. Its architecture through the Muslim world has always aroused the interest of many researchers. Actually, mosques are still built while undergoing the changes which occurred on the modern societies. However, only few research who have been interested in the new mosques. This paper targets the architecture of mosques built in Tunis governorate between 1975 and 1995. Through a morphological analysis of 24 mosques we were able to determine their identity and their morphological structure. According to their form and position, we discovered classes of specimen and classes of segments. Our corpus presents several constants and variations that we can explain though the introduction of some extrinsic attributes. In fact, these architectural objects possess some morphological specifications related to some urban, functional and historical factors. Keywords: New mosque; Tunis governorate; morphological structure; form; position Introduction Applied to a corpus of 24 mosques, this The mosque is considered as the main method allows us to define their characteristics in a manifestation of Islamic art. There are many systematic identification process. It is therefore researches that were interested in these applied to understand the combinatorial systems of architectural objects.

Methods of siege warfare and siege defense before and after the advent of artillery are compared. Literary research conducted describes evolutionary changes made in the engineering design of fortifications. The Venetian influence in the design of Famagusta's defensive structures due to the progression of Fourteenth to Sixteenth century military warfare demonstrates the effect engineering technology has on society. CHAPTER I Introduction Engineering design change has been a result of technological advances made by societies, both past and present.

RYAN 488742 30. 3- LONDON ADAM & CHARLES BLACK 1910 TO COUNT GIROLAMO TAGLIAFERRO THIS BOOK IS AFFECTIONATELY INSCRIBED BY THE WRITER PREFACE THE following text is intended to give no more than a slight sketch, aided by Signer Boron's effective pencil, of the manifold interests to be found in Malta. While the archaeology of the island and its con- nection with the Order of St. John of Jerusalem have from time to time attracted attention, English writers seem regrettably to have neglected other topics presented by this unique Imperial posses- sion, such as the folk-lore and literature of the the of the Maltese language ; growth early Christian of the nature of the ' Church Malta ; Consiglio Popolare' that gleam of constitutional govern- ment in the Dark Ages quite as interesting as the or the social Wittenagemote ; and economic condition of the Maltese people under the Knights and in the early days of British rule all of which have engaged the attention of Italian and Maltese historians. vi PREFACE Circumstances have not allowed more than a passing allusion in the following pages to such subjects : they are here mentioned to indicate the fruitful field of research embraced by the Malta Historical and Scientific Society, formed last year in Valletta, which proposes, under the guidance of its President, Professor Napoleon Tagliaferro, to * study the history and archaeology of the Maltese ' Islands and other scientific subjects of local interest an association well worthy of the support of British residents in Malta. The vast contents of the Record Office in Valletta and oral tradition the latter nowhere stronger than in these islands may on examination con- tribute many valuable additions to literature and history.
