THE M1LITIA LIST OF 1419-20

A NEW STARTING POINT FOR THE STUDY OF MALTA'S POPULATION

by Godfrey Wettinger

Introduction

It is hardly likely that Maltese history will ever have its Domesday Book providing it with the sort of information on the Middle Ages that it so greatly needs. In fact, however, the Cathedral Museum up at Mdina does possess a number of rather obscure documents, now catalogued as Univer­sitft, 'Quaderni Diversi', Nos. 1-18, which have so far been entirely neglected by historians of the calibre of Mgr. A. Mifsud and Professor R. Valentini. A thorough examination and partial transcription of them over the past couple of years have convinced the present writer that between them they contain a wealth of information on the inhabitants of Malta during the fifteenth century, enabling the historian to pursue several hitherto impossible lines of investigation. The main purpose of the present article is to present to the public one of the oldest of these documents. In the light of the evidence it contains one can reach much safer conclusions regarding, among other things, such important matters as the distribution of population in Malta early in the fifteenth century.

It is hardly surprising that all these documents have been overlooked by previous investigators. Most of them consist of lists of names, frequently without title-page and consequently also without any indication of their date. Physically they have a strong general family resemblance-in size, shape, type of paper, and sometimes handwriting as well. Some are dated or easily datable to the early years of the sixteenth century. This might have misled those who, until the opening of the present premises, could only afford to give them the merest cursory glance, into thinking that they all belonged to that part of the sixteenth century.

Fortunately, however, 'Quaderni Diversi, No.3' has managed to preserve its title page intact. Its full title reads: 'Quaternu factu et ordinatu per Ii nobili capitaneo et Jurati [et] consiglu per la guardia de la hisula de mauta anni XIII Indicionis'. It consists of a militia list and, in view of its obviously early date and the general scarcity of fifteenth century documents on Malta, its importance and interest should naturally be quite considerable.

In its present state this list is written on forty two numbered folios which have survived at least in part, in addition to the title page which is not numbered. In size it is 11 cms. by 29.7 cms. Page stubs at the end

show that at least eleven whole folios have been cut off, but the folio enumeration proves that none of the folios containing the text is missing entirely. Folio 17 has had its bottom half cut neatly away, apparently with­out mutilating the text. Folio 42 has had its top two-thirds torn off, and the previous folio has also lost a corner, resulting in the loss of most of the names of the Jewish members of the island's militia. However, the bottom parts of these folios have survived, with figures showing the number of names on each folio side, so that it is possible to tell exactly how many men went to form the Jewish contingent.

The only sign the title page gives of its date is the Indictional number: the XIIIth Indiction. That it must have been drawn up before 1492 is evident from the fact that in that year the Jews were expelled from Malta. The XIIIth Indiction in the fifteenth century fell on the years 1404-05, 1419-20, 1434-35, 1449-50, etc. None of the Desguanez brothers-Angarau, Francisco, Gulielmo, Goffredo-so active in the public life of Malta in the second half of the century-is mentioned in it. Nor is there a mention even of their father Antoni Desguanez, round whom most of the affairs of the island revolved between 1427 and 1457. Instead one finds listed in the militia Misser Francesco Gatto, Antoni's father-in-law, who died in 1442,1 Another interesting member of the militia was Johannes Arexula, whose d~ath had by 1446 already been followed by that of his own son and of Petro Busco, successively lords of the fief of Ghajn Tuffieha.2 The list contains the names of notaries Nicolu Delisula and Antonio Azupardu, known to have been active in the second and third decades of the fifteenth centurY,3 as well as that of Ludovico de Plusasco (if, that is, the Misser Luisi in it refers to him, as it must). Plusasco's widow was able to marry Simon de Mazara in 1429, a fact which would alone be sufficient to rule out any XIIIth Indiction later than 1419-20.4

Owing to the general lack of evidence and the nature of the list itself it is much more difficult to be sure that it is not older than 1419-20. An examination of the names of the signatories to the Capituli of 1409 shows that out of twenty names that can be read ten do not appear at all in the

militia list.5 There might of course be several explanations of this, but it does render it less likely that it belongs to 1404-05 (only five years before) than to 1419-20 (ten years after). This is all the nlore convincing when one considers that only six out of the forty-six persons whose names appear in a document of 11 February 1421 do not appear in the militia list.6

The names of the militia members are arranged simply in a long column down each narrow folio subdivided by na]lle of village or town where they resided. The names are not placed in any apparent order within each place of residence-not by rank or organizational method, nor by alphabetical or other conventional system-but one cannot exclude the possibility that their occurrence reflects the relative location of their homes, e.g. by street or neighbourhood. Certainly the fact that several surnames come in twos and sometimes in threes suggests family groups of adult brothers living in the same home or adjoining houses. Of course, in­laws would not be recognisable in the same way wherever a change of surname took place.

However that may be, the list gives us by far the best evidence so far discovered of the general distribution of the population of Malta so early in the fifteenth century. In that respect there is nothing superior or even equal to it until the later years of the sixteenth century, when the long series of population estimates starts. The militia-men of Malta in 1419-20 were distributed as follows: 7

It is not easy to estimate what the total of the population then was. The militia list refers only to the adult male population between the ages of sixteen and sixty-five who did not live at Birgu or in Gozo-places which had defence arrangements of their own. It does, however, include all sections of the population except the priests-Christians as well as Jews, farmers, shop-keepers, artisans as well as notaries, landowners and feudal lords. The addition of Birgu would probably bring the total of the whole of Malta up to some 2,000. Women, children and the old would probably bring the figure to some 10,000. A list of the inhabitants of Rabat of the early 1480s gives a total population of both sexes and all ages. of 1,381 for that town. 8 A count of the male householders gives some 224 tallying admirably with the 219 men listed under Rabat in a contemporary list apparently concerned with corvee work-locally known as angara. 9 The two figures for Rabat imply that a ratio of 1:6 might be better than one of 1:5 for calculating the total population from such registers.

The total of 1,667 adult males for all Malta (except Birgu) in 1419-20 compares with that of 1,518 males in the angara roll of the 1480s which, howev~r, does not include the men of Zabbar, Temim Assant, Pascualinu, JohannijBuzubudi, and Axac. The two sets of figures suggest that by the latter date Malta's population had managed to maintain, or reach again. the size recorded on the earlier date, in spite of the catastrophic Moorish invasiolll of 1429, which was reputed to have led to the loss of more than 3,000 inhabitants of the two islands, of the plague which followed it, and of the 'sickness of the throat with a rash' which carried off some 700 persons in Malta alone in the early 1450s.1° After 1480 the population seems to have continued to increase steadily, reaching some 20,000 by 1530.11

The militia list strongly suggests that even as early as 1419 the northern part of Malta was practically uninhabited. Mellieha and, of course, St. Paul's

Bay are not mentioned, though both Lia and Naxaru each had an inhabitant called Millahi. The most distant villages north of Musta were the three hamlets of Dragu, Maricatu and Gazara, on hill-tops overlooking Burmarrad and Ghajn Rihana. In the same general direction from, but much nearer to, Musta were the two hamlets of Bise (later Pissa or Pessa) and Dimag. North of Rabat one finds Gumerinu (Ghemieri)-in another similar militia list not much later in date associated with Callelia. 12 There was also a village called Samud at Madliena near Gharghur.13 Musta itself was associated with a village called Calleja (Wied il-Qlejgha?).

Of the fifty settlements listed only nine can be definitely recognised as nOh-Hal placenames: Naxaru, Musta, Bircalcara, Gudia,. Micabibe, Backari, Carendi, Rabat, Civitas (Mdina). Others like Calleja, Gumerinu, Gallun, have been lost for so long that it is impossible to be sure they took the Hal prefix or not. The predominance of the Hal settlements in the distribution of the population of Malta is evident. Much more may be learnt when the complete original meaning and the historical background surrounding the use of the word ra1ia~ (the original form of Hal) is known. It should, however, also be remembered that several Hal names do not appear in the list at all: Arrig, Bajjada, Dwin, Far, Fabruni, Ferut, Gawhar, Ginwi, Marrat, RobIa, Manin, Milit, Mula, Musulmeti, Muxi, Pilatu, Qadi, Qdieri, Ripa, Risqun, Saptan, Sajd, Sajjied, Sejjieh, Spital, Tus, Warda, Xih-all of which are occasionally found preceded by Hal in old docl:ments. Some of them are omitted because they came to form part of larger settl~ments with another name: e.g. Muxi, Mula and Dwin appear as Zebbug. Mobla as Musta, Dghif as Naxxar.

The distribution of the population proves the extremely rural nature of life in Malta at the time. Mdina and Rabat had a mere 424 men between them, and only if one included the Jewish community living at Mdina. Nothing is known definitely about the size of Birgu, but it is hardly likely to have exceeded that of the other two. The statement still sometimes made that Malta's population in the Middle Ages was concentrated in the two main centres of Mdina and Bir.gu could hardly therefore be more incorrect.

Most of the names are preceded by a symbol: 0, mu, h, R, -, g, p, fl. The meaning of these,symbols is still unknown, except that 'g' always stands before the names of persons also described on their right side as 'Jucularu', i.e. musician, jongleur; 'mu' most probably stands for 'mastru', Le. master­craftsman; 'fl' stands for 'falcuneri', Le. falconer. If they should all turn out to be abbreviations of words indicating, even if indirectly, occupation or

Casalis Samud vocata di Santa Maria Magdalena' to Christofarus de Spetere, 7 April 1439: RML, Univ. 206, fol. 301r. The militia list itself shows that the' Madliena intended is the one near Gharghur by its coupling of the names of the two villages.

status they would provide the social historian with an invaluable means of analysing Maltese society during the Later Middle Ages, a whole century before the coming of the Knights. They do not seem to have any obvious connection with rank, arms or postings.

Most of the ticking-offs and other marks entered to the right of the majority of the names have had to be ignored because they seem to be much later in date than the list of names itself and the symbols on its left In addition the markings are often of such a nature and so indeterminate than only a photostat copy could reproduce them adequately. However, the entry 'C l' has been preserved. This must indicate which men had or were expected to have a horse or other similar animal. There were alto­gether 108 of them, distributed as follows:

TartarnijDinkili 6 Axac 2 Dragu/GazarGl/Maricatu 4 Gudia 4 Grigori/Samud 5 Mitarxe1n 2 Naxaru 9 Luca/Farrug 1 Calleja/Musta 2 Micabibe 1 LamannijBurdi 1 Safi 1 Lia 2 Zuricu 2 Atardu 8 Milleri 1 Balzan 4 Leu/Carendi 2 Bircalcara 4 Sigeui 6 Curmi 15 KibeI' 4 Zabar 5 Cuderi 1 Temim Assant 1 Zebugi 5 Pascualinu 2 Rabat 5 J ohannijBuzubudi 7 Civitas (Mdina) 1

However, if 'C l' meant a horse cavallo, why were the nobles of Mdina not shown as keeping one? This is the sort of difficulty one continually comes across in trying to understand the meaning of such symbols. The explanation, of course, must be that cavalrymen did not then have such a primary importance after all in the battle tactics of the local militia.

Several of the Christian names in the list are usually abbreviated. Some of the more popular names had popular versions, usually truncated forms, e.g. Cola for Nicola, Pinu for Philippu, Masi for Tumasi. Other shor­tenings of names were made for the sake of speed in writing by the scribe. These he invariably indicates by the normal palaeographical sign. In the present transcription only the second type of abbreviation has been extended, thus:

(fullu into Gullielmu pu into Petru 'I'hu. into Thumeu

88 GODFREY WETTINGER

Anglu. into Angelu Demit into Demitriu This is perhaps not the best place or occasion to make a thorough

study of Christian names in Malta in 1419-20 or later parts of the same century. It should suffice to point out that the list contains some eighty different Christian names, the following being by far the most popular: Antoni (104 examples), Johanni in its various forms (94), Nicolau, Cola, etc. (94), Gullielmu (76), Thumeu (58), Paulu (58), Petru (52), Andrea (47), Pinu (38), Marcu (42), Franciscu (40). Lemu, a popular abbreviation of Gullielmu, appears twenty times. There are several names which would sound very strange today, e.g. Azimundinu (2), Ansaldinu (10), Apostoli (1), Alduinu (2), Carnivali (4), Faruza (1), Livera (1), Leu (1). Omissions are even stranger. There is not a single Carmel, Publius or Joseph among the Christians. In fact, not a single Joseph has yet been found among some 5,000 Christian inhabitants of Malta in the fifteenth century, though several Josephs could be found among the Jews. Grigori and Matheu only have one example each. Jorgi which was to have 34 mentions in the angara list of the 1480s only had 9 in 1419. BIas with 22 occurrences in the 1480s had a mere 3 in 1419. Something could be learnt of popular attitudes to religion by a similar careful analysis of the changing popularity of personal names.14

It may be presumed that the Christian names common in Malta during the fifteenth century were identical to the ones then in use in Sicily. The surnames, however, were very different. Belonging, as they did, to an older age, they reflected much more strongly the Semitic strain in the culture of Malta. It should, however, be realized that the common people in their daily life were more prone to use a nickname instead of a surname. The officials who drew up the militia list did not normally record nicknames. They only did so when several persons had exactly the same name and surname, especially if they also lived in the same village. Thus, two of the three men named Gullielmu Mahallif who lived at Birkirkara are distinguished from each other by the addition of their nicknames - Simine, and Miselah. One can see from the other militia list already referred to, that the third GuI­lielmu Mahallif was popularly known as Haneia (Le. Hnejja) .15

In the following transcription of the militia roll of 1419/20 italics have been used for the titles of settlements and for the entries after the names, most of which entries, if not all, were written later than the names. Names, surnames, etc., in square brackets have been added as the result of a comparison with other similar documents mentioned above.

Though the utmost care has been taken, in a work of this nature it would be idle to pretend that all readings are correct. Balzam, e.g., could probably be better rendered as Balzani, and Cunti is doubtful too.
