Summary
[edit]DescriptionDisegnio del Isola del Gozzo (Chigi Map), 1634-39.jpg |
English: The earliest Map of Gozo, hand-drawn and inserted in a manuscript volume that belonged to Fabio Chigi (1599-1667) at the Biblioteca Apostolica Vaticana in Rome.
All the place names are written around the coastline, except for one "gnen mocfar" (Ġnien Musfar in Nadur) which is found on the body of the map. It is oriented nearly south to the top and has a scale bar of eight-and-a-half miles. It was probably commissioned to show the fortified Cittadella and the various towers around the coast as well as the Santa Marija tower on Comino. Fabio Chigi was Inquisitor in Malta from 1634-39 and he later became Pope Alexander VII (1655-1667).
