Abstract: | The author examines the literary value and significance the poem holds in and bears on the history of the Maltese language. This poem serves to shed some light on the Maltese spoken 500 years ago, on the concrete versus abstract thinking of the populace, reality against illusion and moreover the trend of the fifteenth century Maltese poetry towards Romance rather than Semitic patterns. |
