An exhibition, entitled Tuitio Fidei et Obsequium Pauperum: the Sovereign Military Order of Malta 1113-2013, is being organised by the National Library to commemorate the 900th anniversary of the foundation of the Order of St John.

The exhibition showcases a number of manuscripts taken from the Order’s archives, some of which date back to just under a thousand years.

To commemorate this anniversary, the National Library has also launched two new publications – a booklet relating to the archives of the Order and another publication featuring photographs and informative snippets about each of the 28 Grand Masters who ruled Malta between 1530 and 1798.

The exhibition will be open to the public – at the National Library, Monday to Friday, during the library’s opening hours – until August 2.
