| Abstract: | Gozo’s history can be divided into two: pre-1551 and post-1551. For the island itself, the event of 1551 was so devastating that various aspects of life had to begin anew in the decades that followed. Writings about this experience have tended to be in the form of short contributions here and there, sometimes as short dedicated articles and in other instances as paragraphs within studies dealing with wider subjects. The chronicler of the Order, Giacomo Bosio, describes 1551 at some length and there are the important and modern contributions of Mgr Dr Joseph Bezzina and Professor Stanley Fiorini. |
