The Morisco and Hispano-Arabic culture and Malta. Some highlights on late medieval and early modern links
Keywords:
Maltese and Hispano-Arabic culture, Maltese Language, Order of St JohnAbstract
In Spain the 16th century finally witnessed a policy of repression and deterrence which led to the complete expulsion of the christianized descendants from the Arabic occupation. One important attempt to erase the identity of this still suspicious ethnic group was a ‘prematica’ of King Philip II which prohibited to speak and write their own Arabic language. In connection with this development, also the Semitic Maltese language and its history was touched and observed by Hispano-Arabic scholars. This subject opens up a new field of investigation.Downloads
