Il-prefazju storiku tal-Mylsen Feniċju-Puniku jew Il-grammatika tal-Malti ta’ Mikiel Anton Vassalli [Book review]

Abstract

Edizzjoni ġdida u traduzzjoni b’daħla storika u filoloġika, noti u kummenti ta’ Horatio Caesar Roger Vella. (A new edition and translation including a historical and philological introduction, with notes and comments by Horatio Caesar Roger Vella). Much has been written about our very own unfortunate patriot since Ġuzè Gatt’s contributions and Ninu Cremona’s Mikiel Anton Vassalli u żminijietu (translated by May Butcher as Vassalli and his times – a biography in 1940). Following Oliver Friggieri’s Journal of Maltese Studies – Essays on Mikiel Anton Vassalli (1993), historians and researchers continued to delve deeply into his life and times, throwing new light on his basic thoughts, his vision of a future modern and sovereign nation, encapsulating his political and cultural activities.
