Hospitaller women in the Middle Ages
No full textThis volume brings together recent and new research, with several items specially translated into English, on the sisters of the largest and most long-lived of the military-religious orders, the Hospital of St John of Jerusalem. In recent years there has been increasing scholarly interest in women's religious houses during the Middle Ages, with particular focus on the problems which they faced and the social needs which they performed. The military-religious orders have been largely excluded from this interest, partly because it has been assumed that women played little role in religious orders with a predominantly military purpose. Recent research has shown this to be a misconception.
Study of the women members of these orders enables scholars to gain a deeper appreciation of the nature of hospitaller and military orders and of the role of women in religious life in general. The papers in this volume explore the roles which the Hospitaller sisters performed within their order; examine the problems of having men and women living within the same or adjoining houses; study relations between the order and the patrons of its women's houses; and consider the career of a prominent Hospitaller woman who became a saint.
This volume will be of interest not only to scholars of the military-religious orders and of the Hospital of St John in particular, but also to scholars of monastic history and to those with a concern for women's history during the middle ages.

Excavations at Tas-Silg, Malta : a preliminary report on the 1996-1998 campaigns conducted by the Department of Classics and Archaeology of the University of Malta
No full textThe area known as Tas-Silg is situated in the south-eastern part of the island of Malta, close to
Marsaxlokk harbour. In reality the place name refers to the small church
dedicated to Our Lady of the Snows (hence Tas-Silg) situated at the point where the narrow ·
road from Zejtun forks out in two directions: to Delimara and Xrobb il-Ghagin due south-east
and to Marsaxlokk village due south-west. A British-period fort occupying the highest point
of the elongated hill further south along· the first road also carries the same place name. The
lower and more compact hill on which the excavations have been conducted is called 'Ta'
Berikka' , but since it is so close to the above-mentioned church (only 50 m to the north) the
tradition of calling it Tas-Silg is now well established and there is no sense in changing it.
The site has a commanding view of the Marsaxlokk harbour to the south and overlooks two
other bays, Marsascala and St Thomas's bay, to the north-east. On all sides the slope is broken
up by man-made terraced fields
There is no doubt that the topography of the site must have been a determining factor in its
choice for the establishment of a religious centre in the Temple period of Maltese pehistory
(3000--2500 BC), though one must keep in mind that close to Tas-Silg there are three other
prehistoric temple sites. each one with a completely different topography. The Temple people
were quite introverted in their cultural isolation and do not seem to have been much interested
in seafaring and in the outside world. The situation changed radically in the following age, the
Bronze Age. when the island was occupied by people who set up villages on naturally defensible hilltops, occasionally fortifying them with artificial ramparts. The Tas-Silg hill
with its temple ruins was occupied by these people, but it is not as yet clear for what purpose.
The scenario changed again in historical times when the central and western Mediterranean
started to be parcelled out among the commercial powers originating in the eastern
Mediterranean. The Greeks do not seem to have even tried 10 colonize Malta as they did in
neighbouring Sicily. The Phoenicians, however, did occupy the island, apparently through a
slow process of peaceful penetration and eventual political and cultural assimi lation. It was in
this period that the ruins of the megalithic temple were transformed into a Phoenician extraurban
shrine dedicated to Astarte, which in time expanded into a full y-fledged sanctuary with
an international reputation. The last chapter in the millennia- long history of the site was
written when the colonnaded courtyard in front of the old temple was transformed into an
early Christian church. Any use made of the site in the following Arab period is, once again,
poorly understood.peer-reviewe
