Book presentations to the University Library were recently made by the
French Ambassador H.E. Patrick Chrismant, Professor Alain Blondy, and Dr

in French literature and art, while Professor Blondy presented the Library
with material bearing on French history as well as a 1926 copy of Jean
Vignard's novel "La Maison du Maltais". Dr Franco Pellegrini donated
an interesting range of French literary texts belonging to his late father,
novelist, poet and playwright Dr Vincenzo Maria Pellegrini. These
book presentations were made to Pro-Rector Professor C. J. Farrugia in

Embassy, and academics from the University Department of French headed
