Daniel Callus, a Maltese Dominican scholar at Oxford

Abstract

The academic life of Daniel Callus, a Maltese member of the Order of Preachers, at Oxford in England, spanned over three decades. Indeed, he was the first Dominican to receive a degree from this august university since the Reformation. This research identifies the photos available at the University of Malta Heritage Archive Collection associated with the conferment of the doctorate degree on Callus by the Royal University of Malta. It also identifies his half siblings and concludes by identifying the family vault where he was buried and the vault of his stepfamily.
