Among the fundamental aspects of the settlement pattern are location and hierarchial distribution, which is what this article is about. 1990-01-01T00:00:00Z https://www.um.edu.mt/library/oar/handle/123456789/25125 Title: An index of the inquisition : 1546-1575 Authors: Cassar, Carmel Abstract: The Bull Licet ab initio, issued on 21 July 1542 by Pope Paul Ill, created a totally reformed Inquisition. It was clearly Inspired by the recent success of the Spanish Inquisition, which in turn had been set up to suit the particular needs of the new and growing nation-empire that was Spain. This new Tribunal, more commonly known as the Holy Office, was mainly intended to oppose the doctrines of Luther and the other flourishing Protestant sects. The Holy Supreme Congregation, under Cardinal Giovanni Pietro Caraffa (later Pope Paul IV), gained among its many privileges that of creating Inquisitors who were to be given the appropriate number of staff to help them in any town, province, or place. The first attempt was also made to compile an Index of prohibited books deemed likely to propagate false teachings. 1990-01-01T00:00:00Z https://www.um.edu.mt/library/oar/handle/123456789/25121 Title: Il-poezija Maltija tat-tieni nofs tas-seklu ghoxrin : riflessjonijiet dwar it-temi ewlenin Abstract: It-tibdil taż-żmien iġib miegħu modi u xejriet ġodda, għallinqas fil-forma (biex nislet ħsieb komuni ħafna fil-kritika). Tibdil politiku radikali, imbagħad, ma jistax ma jqanqalx mill-qiegħ is-saff sod fejn bħallikieku tidher l-aktar l-identita milqugħa u mistqarra bħala komuni. Għad li l-kronologija tal-ġrajjiet politiċi hi ċara, il-kronologija tal-ġrajja ta' l-ispirtu m'hijiex. M'hix ħaga ħafifa, ngħidu aħna, li wieħed igħid meta daħlu x-xejriet reċenti fil-poeżija Maltija. Xi elementi minnhom jinstabu diġa f'Rużar Briffa. Dibattitu dwar il-'moderniżmu' (f'dan il-każ ir-realiżmu) insibuh diġa mfisser bit-Taljan f'Malta fis-seklu l-iehor. Dawn il-ftit riflessjonijiet ħfief huma biżżejjed biex wieħed jifhem kemm il-kritika ma taqtax linja dritta bħalma tagħmel l-istorjografija politika li tistħarreg il-ġrajjiet u mhux ix-xejriet, il-fehmiet, l-attitudnijiet u I-bqija. 1990-01-01T00:00:00Z
