Description
Erich Becker’s 1913 publication of Malta Sotterranea was a major contribution to the study of Malta’s early Christian and Jewish archaeological remains. His studies are very well researched and exceptionally thorough. Most authors who later wrote on the same subject refer to Becker in one way or another.
The value of the German publication has been widely recognised, but because of language difficulties, many of his remarkable conclusions and discoveries went unnoticed to this very day. In this translation the author has managed to enable the reader to follow Becker’s detailed descriptions. Every chapter contains endnotes by the translator that provide further explanations, updates and translations of Latin, Greek, English, French, Italian and Hebrew quotes.
