Title: The Pardoner in the general context of the Canterbury Pilgrimage
Abstract: When we meet the Pardoner and the Summoner in the General
Prologue, we are immediately struck by their physical and moral
deformity. The song they sing, their greed, and their intimacy have made
critics refer to them as the villains of the Canterbury Tales. However, it
must be noted that the churchmen who meet at the Tabard, with one
shining exception - the Parson - do not live up to their ideals, but
display, instead, their worldliness in the same way, if not exactly to the
same degree, as our iniquitous couple.

Title: Paola : another Punico-Roman settlement?
Abstract: The town of Paola lies on the south-western side of the Grand Harbour.
The area received considerable attention under the Order especially
when Grand Master Antoine de Paule founded a new village so as to avoid
over-population in Valletta and the Three Cities: Vittoriosa, Senglea, and
Cospicua. In recent years building and industrial developments have
almost made Paola and neighbouring Marsa fuse into one whole region
and have destroyed a great number of archaeological sites, particularly
since the 1940s.
This article discusses a great number of archaeological sites, such as cisterns, tombs and other architectural features found in the Paola area.1992-01-01T00:00:00Z
