- 研究成果概要
- The aim of the project was to use one case study, the life of Cassar, to help determine how people in the early-modern period reacted to and interacted with the manifestations of globalisation in this period, the first era of full globalisation. As such, I visited Malta in order to locate documents related to the Maltese architect Vittorio Cassar (d. c. 1610). These documents are housed in a number of different libraries in Malta, primarily the archives of the Roman Inquisition on Malta, the notarial archives, and the archives of the Knights Hospitaller in the National Library of Malta. Having spent six weeks in Malta, I have located and digitized a vast number of documents either directly or indirectly related to Vittorio Cassar.
Over the next few months, I will study each of the documents in detail in order to attempt to fully understand how Cassar responded to the people, ideas, and objects that entered Malta in the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries. Having understood Cassar’s reactions, I will compare them to contemporary reactions to globalisation in order to go some way to showing how historical research can help understand society today.
