dc.description.abstractThe following analysis of the distribution of surnames in Malta in the fifteenth century is based on two undated and largely ignored lists of names preserved in the Cathedral Archives, Mdina. The first, a militia roll of the XIII Indiction, contains the names, among others, of practically all those Maltese who were present in the Town Council of the island when Don Antonio Cardona, through his representative, took an oath on 11 February 1421 (XIV Indiction) to respect the privileges of the Maltese. The nearest Indiction-year numbered XIII is 1419-20. The second list cannot be dated so exactly, because it lacks any record of the Indictional Number, owing to the disappearance of the title page. However the names it contains place it securely within the 1480s. It consists of a list of names of men divided by day of the week and subdivided by name of village. Neither list contains any names of the inhabitants of Gozo or Birgu.en_GB
