Fondazzjoni Patrimonju Malti has just published the 12th book in the popular series Histories of Malta by Giovanni Bonello.

This volume, Confusions and Conclusions, closes one of the most successful collections of researched studies in aspects of ancient and modern Malta in local publishing history.

A different series of publications about historical subjects will be launched later by Dr Bonello.

Like all previous volumes in this series, volume 12 contains 16 fascinating chapters on the most varied historical themes, from pirates in Malta in the British period to the systematic looting of the Palace; from an Italian knight of Malta who plotted an assassination and was tortured for treason to a Maltese scandal that saw Cardinal Newman dragged in court by a defrocked Italian priest; from an obsessive Maltese art collector who lost his fortune to gambling to the first study of early cinemas in Malta.

A book signing session is due to be held today at noon at Casa Rocca Piccola bookshop in Republic Street, Valletta.
