| Abstract: | The lecture, based upon on-going doctoral research, focused upon the presence in Malta of literature prohibited on religious or political grounds during the period 1700 to 1798. The local dissemination of such material was by no means an eighteenth-century innovation. The availability of Lutheran works is documented during the early decades of the sixteenth century, while prohibited classics, comprising the works of Nostradamus and Galileo are known to have reached the Island during the following one. |
