| Abstract: | The National Library of Malta houses a book entitled The Adventures of Count George Albert of Erbach. A true story (l 890). It is a translation from the German by Beatrice of Battenberg, the youngest daughter of Prince Alfred von Sachsen-Coburg und Gotha who spent a great part of her youth at Malta. The German original was published three years before under the title Abenteuer des Grafen Georg Albrecht zu Erbach. Eine wahre Geschichte. Its author was the archivist in the services of the Counts of Erbach zu Erbach, Emil Kraus. Kraus describes in detail the journey by the young Count Georg Albrecht I of Erbach to Malta in early 1617, his sojourn and observations on the island and his subsequent captivity in Tunisia. |
