| Abstract: | The author analyzes the Enlightenment movement in Malta during the second half of the 18th century, focusing on the figure of Gian Francesco Agius de Soldanis. The article discusses how this movement sought to assert state power, reduce clerical influence, and promote Maltese identity through the vernacular language. It specifically details the controversy surrounding de Soldanis’s book, which led to censorship by Grand Master Pinto and the Inquisition. |
