Shortland-Jones Fellowship: Inventing the past: reconsidering early modern antiquarian networks between Malta and Italy.

Grima, Reuben
- Abstract
In 1637, the Cardinal's nephew Francesco Barberini deployed the Jesuit polymath Athanasius Kircher, as well as his librarian and trusted friend Lucas Holste, to Malta to accompany the Landgrave of Hesse, a recent convert to Catholicism. The acquaintances and lasting friendships formed between Chigi, Kircher, Holste and the Maltese antiquarian Giovanni Francesco Abela resulted in a thriving exchange of ideas that persisted well after their departure.
