Abstract: | The sixteenth and seventeenth centuries have probably witnessed some of the most horrendous episodes of scape-goating in European history!. Individuals who did not conform - particularly 'witches: 'heretics: and members of the Jewish communities scattered all over Europe - were often perceived as the 'other'. Similarly in the Mediterranean island of Malta, anyone who fitted one of these typologies exposed oneself to potential abuse. |
