| Abstract: | This volume documents the administrative and academic restructuring of the University of Malta between 1796 and 1809, a period marked by the transition from French occupation to the British protectorate. It contains primary records regarding institutional governance, such as the appointment of Rector Xavier Caruana by Governor Alexander Ball, and the establishment of new academic chairs in Natural History, Chemistry, and the Nautical School. The manuscript provides comprehensive details on faculty salaries, student examinations, and the conferment of doctorates across the colleges of Theology, Law, and Medicine. Additionally, it highlights specialised instruction in the Arabic, English, and Italian languages, alongside records of annual academic orations and general university operations. |
