Catherine: Before we all plunge headlong into 're-inventing the wheel' - that is, citing Dr Albert Ganado and the most likely of his published works on the cartography of Malta (etc.) - to provide the required answers, has Roger Vella [or 'Della'?] Bonavita, in fact, confirmed that he has already investigated this most authoritative source? Francis (who else?) -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of C.Delano-Smith Sent: 15 April 2010 09:03 To: Maphist Subject: [MapHist] Pianta della Cit[ta di Mal]ta Uechia Dear MapHisters, Is anybody able to help a non-subscriber, Roger Vella Bonavita (W Australia) who is writing on Malta and searching for a map formerly in the collection of G H Beans, passed to Tall Trees Library, but eventually sold separately when the remainder of the Beans collection was broken up. See Imago Mundi , vol VI 'Notes from the Tall Tree Library' pp32/3. The map is titled 'Pianta della Cit[ta di Mal]ta Uechia' It shows the old capital of Malta. Beans ascribed it to Gabrio Serbelloni together with plans of fortifications in Sicily and North Africa, dating them all to the period around the mid 1570's. If anybody is able to point Mr Vella Bonavita in the right direction, I shall be pleased to forward your message . Please write to me off list if you prefer.
