, 2005 It is not unreasonable to assume that Gozo, too, was seen as a similar haven. However, on the basis that present day Gozo is devoid of any good natural harbours, some have, not unreasonably, dismissed the possibility that the island could have had any significant maritime role in antiquity.6 Through this paper I intend to show that the island did ...

The flora and vegetation of Gozo
, 1997 The Maltese Islands lie in the centre of the Mediterranean. The highest points for the two main islands are only 253 m (Ta' Zuta, Malta) and 191 m (Dbiegi, Gozo) above sea level.

It is a self-serving impression, spread by those who

Religion : a perspective into Gozo's mystery
, 1997 Gozo is deceptively tiny for its history. Though for the most part its history is still shrouded in mystery, it is so evident and so compelling that Gozo's past is a larger than life story of an island steeped in the events, cultures and civilizations of the Mediterranean wherein it has floated since the last ice age tied, together with its elder ...

Reflections on the historiography of hospitaller Gozo
, 1997 If were asked to describe the state of our historiography today, I would not hesitate to define it as one experiencing a general crisis. Ironically, this crisis has been the result of the overwhelming quantitative progress achieved by our local archival researchers, Gozitan and Maltese, the massive accumulation (or should it be called a 'monstrous ...
