| Abstract: | Jean Quentin (1500-1561) was a French Knight of the Order of St. John ·of Jerusalem, a priest, a traveller, a Professor of Canon Law and a writer. His description of Malta, written in 1533, is about how he saw it at the time the Knights first came to Malta, and about the classical and Pauline traditions related to it. This paper analyses the correctness of his version of these traditions. |
