Abstract:	Fiorini writes about the most turbulent year in Gozo's history: 1551, when the Ottoman Empire ravaged the island by seizing its valuables as well as taking 5,500 Gozitans into slavery. With the help of notarial records, the author managed to piece together a rough aggregation of how many slaves managed to escape slavery and who died as a slave. This abduction of Gozo's populace meant that immigration from Malta and Sicily was vital for the island's continued habitation.
