A critical analysis of Siculo-Norman influences on the late medieval architecture of the Maltese Islands, Les Influences sicilo-normandes sur l'architecture médievale de Malte, by Professor Mario Buhagiar, head of the History of Art Programme of the Faculty of Arts, has been included in a collection of art historical essays published last month by Éditions Parenthèses of Marseille.

The book, L'architecture normande en Europe - identité et échanges, is edited by Martin Kew Meade, Werner Szambien, and Simona Talenti, and includes contributions by some of the foremost European scholars of Norman and Romanesque architecture. This publication was supported by the Education and Culture Programme of the EU.

This is the latest of Professor Buhagiar's scholarly papers to feature in international publications. Other studies include "The Cathedral City of Mdina: a case study of Baroque triumphal revivalism in a miniature Mediterranean island state", published in a book by Luis Ferreira Calado and Luis de Moura Sobral (eds), on The Struggle for Synthesis - The Total Work of Art in the 17th and 18th Centuries, and L'iconographie des tombes rupestres punico-hellenistiques, paléochrétiennes et byzantines de Malte published in Alix Barbet (ed.), La peinture funéraire antiques.

Another art historical study by Professor Buhagiar, "The Miraculous Image of the Madonna of Philermos and Its Uniqueness to the Knight Hospitallers of St John of Jerusalem in Rhodes and Malta", was published last May in Sacra Militia, rivista di storia degli Ordini Militari (anno ii 2001) ed. Franco Cardini, Genoa 2002 (ISBN 1591 7142).
