IL MEZZO VOCABOLARIO MALTESE-ITALIANO DEL '700 The importance of the Mezzo Vocabolario, which goes back to 1765-1775 ca., lies in the fact that, after the Regole per la lingua Maltese and the unpublished Damma tal-Kliem Kartaginis, this hitherto unknown manuscript is the oldest dictionary of the Maltese language that has come down to us. This manuscript provides historical data concerning Maltese life and customs in that century and hitherto unrecorded variants of Maltese proverbs. xiv + 177 pages ISBN 99909 43 17 6
