compiles a comprehensive study of Maltas Coinage through history, events and
culture. The 2nd Edition published in 2005 depicts over 1300 colour

All coins have cross references to the above authors with an accompanied standard M.H. (Malta History of the Coinage) reference number.
The author divides the book into four sections; Ancient Malta, Medieval Malta, Order of St. John of Jerusalem or better known as the Knights of Malta and the post 1800 period conjunctively the French & British Rule and the Central Bank of Malta Coinage. Each section is carefully described not only through a numistmatists eye but from a Historic point of view, providing important information about wars, hoards, legacies, rulers, and The Republic.

BRINCAT Joseph M. (1995)
Malta 870-1054 Al-Hmiyari's Account and its Linguistic Implications
In 1990, Joseph M. Brincat published the
previously unknown description of Malta by al-Himyari, written around 1300 but
certainly based on earlier documents, which is the longest, most detailed and
most reliable source about the Arab period in Malta. This second edition has
been thoroughly revised and investigates the problem of the language spoken in
Malta before 870. Certain important details are discussed anew and the
bibliography has been extended and updated.

IL MEZZO VOCABOLARIO
MALTESE-ITALIANO DEL '700
The importance of the Mezzo Vocabolario, which goes back to 1765-1775 ca., lies
in the fact that, after the Regole per la lingua Maltese and the unpublished
Damma tal-Kliem Kartaginis, this hitherto unknown manuscript is the oldest
dictionary of the Maltese language that has come down to us. This manuscript
provides historical data concerning Maltese life and customs in that century and
hitherto unrecorded variants of Maltese proverbs.

DAUBER R.L. (1995)
A KNIGHT OF MALTA IN BRAZIL
This short account of Villegaignon's life, product of sixteenth century
influences, shows a heroic high-principled man and excellent writer. Following
problems at university, where he met Calvin, Villegaignon joined the Order's
Navy through family connections, training under the best captains. His stint in
Malta was marked by Grandmaster de Homedes' grave displeasure for justly
critising his mismanagement, and by Mdina's inhabitants' respect. He moved on to
diplomatic missions, Protestantism and Brazil, whence his shattered ideas and
reconversion to Catholicism.
