| Abstract: | In this article Cassar Pullicino writes about Bishop Leonardo Abela (1541-1605), a prominent Maltese scholar of the cinquecento who, among other prestigious titles, carried that of Bishop of Sidonia. Born to a noble family in Mdina in 1541, Pope Gregory VIII named him vicar general of the island of Malta. Later that year he moved to Rome where he projected a mission towards the Orient to have the churches there united with that of Rome. In his journey, he collected Manuscripts, making the Vatican’s Library the largest in Europe ( at the time ). |
