| Abstract: | Relatively few inscriptions of the 16th century managed to make it to present times. Yet, one such inscription from Gozo, carved in local Globigerina limestone, survives albiet in half. This short inscription was carved in 1581 during the governorship of Bernardo Daldana and when Garsia Monpalao, Salvo Pontremoli, and Tommaso Gauci were jurats of the Gozo Universitas. The surviving portion of the inscribed stone measures 62cm (height) by 35.5cm (maximum width) and has a thickness of 17.5cm including the frame. |
