Dr Emanuel Buttigieg Dept of History, University of Malta My main, broad area of research is the history of the military-religious Order of St John the Baptist, better known as the Knights of Malta. In studying this particular organisation, I endeavour to always place it in a wider historical context and a broader historiographical framework. Hence, in my first book I approached the subject from three angles, that of nobility, faith and masculinity. I am now interested in understanding the dynamics of a military-religious order running an archipelago as its sovereign territory, and within that formula, I am particularly interested in how rituals formed a key element in the political set-up of the island order state of early modern Malta.
