The Kantilena: The oldest piece of literature in the Maltese language

Two seminars on the Kantilena, the oldest piece of literature in the Maltese language, were organised by the Akkademja tal-Malti in conjunction with Palazzo Falson, at Palazzo Falson Historic House Museum. These seminars were held on the 18th and 19th April, during the Medieval Mdina festival, and consisted of readings of the Kantilena by Prof. Manwel Mifsud and Dr Martin Zammit. Prof. Stanley Fiorini and Prof. Godfrey Wettinger discussed the historical context in which the Kantilena was created.
