“Benche in Malta sia conosciuta per antica questa casa, la ritroviamo nondimeno lungotempo prima nel Gozo in estimazione, & haver quivi concorso a’ primi officij, & honori di quell’ isola, e con le principali di essa; poiche ne’ libri della regia Cancellaria si legge Giovanni Bonnici cola’ essere Giudice nel 1401, e 1407. Matteo parimente Giudice nel 1432. Francesco Giurato ne gl’ anni 1436, 1439 & 1448 nel primo luogo. Giaimo, o’ Giacomo anco Giurato nel 1449. Francesco di nuovo Giurato nel 1452. Andrea Cattapano con Artaluccio d’Alagona nel 1453, al qual carico venivano allora deputati senza differenza gl’ istessi, ch’ erano qualificati per l’officio della Giuratia. Di la’ passo’ poi ella in Malta per la persona del sudetto Giacomo primo fondatore della Capella di San Giacomo, ch’ era fuori della parrochiale di Santa Caterina del Zeytun, ove la famiglia possiede I suoi piu’ antichi poderi, indi trasferita dal pronipote Ugolino nella medesima parrochiale, con vistosa fabrica per quei tempi, v’institui un Iuspadronato. Fu’ Giacomo (nominato gia’ in una memoria, ch’ appariva nella vecchia fabrica di detta Parocchiale, essendo di lei procuratore nel 1492) padre di Giovanni, che visse nel 1527, e figliuolo del primo Giovanni Giudice nel Gozo. Dal secondo predetto nacque Simone, di cui fu’ figliuolo Ugolino di sopranominato: costui compri’ il territorio di Marnisi nel 1551, l’aggiunse a’ gl’ altri della casa, che posseduti oggi da I nipoti, e pronipoti rendono ben piu’ di due mila scudi d’entrata ogn’ anno. Hebbe Ugolino dal suo matrimonio con Imperia Abela tre figliuoli, cioe’ a’ dire, Margherita, che fu’ moglie del Dottor Cola Pietro Xuereb, o’ Xueras, di cui I posteri nobilmente accasati in Siracusa quivi habitano, & in altre Citta’ della Sicilia, Clemente, che non lascio successione, e Daniello, questo genero’ Gio Maria, o’ Mariuzzo, che fu’ padre di Gregorio, Daniello, Voincenzo, e di Teodora moglie del Dottor Giacomo Testaferrata de Robertis. Nacquero anco da Daniello quattro femmine sorelle di Gio: Maria, cioe’ Marietta, che fu’ moglie del Dottor Gio: Angelo Anastasio, Imperia di Gio Maria Xara’, Isabella del Dottor Aurelio Vassallo, e Clara di Matteolo Delia, nelle doti delle quali fu’ compartita la maggior parte della sostanza paterna; cosi’ vengono a’ scemare, o’ piu’ tosto ad estinguersi le famiglie, che non hanno per li maschi il sostegno delle lodevoli primogeniture. A questa stirpe, si come furono d’ornamento D. Alberto Bonnici, e Don Luca con le due dignita’ ecclesiastiche, quello d’Arcidiacono, e questo di Cantore della nostra Cattedrale, & I due Canonici Don Salvo, e Don Simone, & altri secolari, ch’ esercitarano principali carichi del publico; cosi’ riceve il ramo della discendenzia d’Antonello non poco fregio, dal valore di Giacomo di lui figliuolo, le cui prodezze fatte nel famoso assedio di quest’ Isola, furono non pur dalla Sacra Religione, che altresi’ dal Re’ Cattolico benignamente guiderdonate, come si legge ne’ libri di questa Cancellaria e se ne fa’ dal Bosio onorevole memoria nell’ istorie della medesima Religione. Accrebbero poscia il di lui nome, due famosi soggetti suoi figliuoli, il P. Bernardino Gesuita l’uno, celebre non meno nelle matematiche scienze, che nella Teologia, portando specialmente in questa il vanto d’esser de’ primo nel Regno di Sicilia. L’altro fu’ Gio Battista Dottor di leggi, che per lo suo merito, e sapere, essendo stato promosso a’ tutti I magistrate dell’ isola, soliti conferirsi a’ quei della professione legale, toltoci ultimamente dalla morte, lascio’ erede, e ne’ beni, e nella scienza il Dottor Ignatio suo unico figlio, ch’ ottenne gl’anni passati l’onorevole carico di Capitano, e poi di Giudice Assessore, e Giurato delal Citta’ Notabile, con altri offici nella Valletta riguardevoli.” (From Abela’s “Della Descrittione di Malta del Commendatore Abela” (1647))

[3] – : The Sicilian Judge Nicolò Crescimanno (1803-1885) was appointed Professor of International Law at the University of Malta, following the retirement of Ferdinand Caruana Dingli in 1869. Professor Nicolò Crescimanno “studied law within the Faculty of Law at the University of Palermo. He was destined to reach the highest echelons of the Sicilian judicature, becoming judge in Palermo, Messina and Catania. He was appointed President of the Gran Corte Civile of Cosenza, President of the Gran Corte Criminale of Trapani, and Procuratore Regio (King’s Crown Advocate) to the Criminal and Civil Courts of Trapani. King Ferdinand himself described him as ‘a jewel’ among his Magistrates. He had one daughter, Maddalena, from his first marriage with Teresa Gennusa, and another eight children from his second wife Vincenza Girgenti. Notwithstanding his distinguished career in his motherland, he was above all a patriot who fled from the political and religious turmoil that had raged the Italian peninsula for decades. As soon as the new government of King Vittorio Emmanuele came to power, Nicolò sought asylum in a favourite place of refuge – the British fortress-colony of Malta. When he was already in his 50s, he and his wife and their seven children trailed behind his first cousin, Judge Giacomo San Filippo who had married his daughter Maddalena, by boarding a ship ‘Elettrico’ en route to Malta. After he set foot in Malta, King Vittorio Emmanuele’s Ministers invited him to return to Sicily and continue his work over there, but he refused. He was also asked to represent his compatriots in the new Italian Parliament, but he did not accept either. In 1862, he wrote to King Francesco asking him to be absolved of his loyalties as he was no longer able to perform the duties he had sworn to carry out. He received the reply which liberated him from his oath of allegiance in due course.” From: Raymond Mangion, ‘Professors who Taught International Law within the Faculty of Laws, University of Malta’, in Serving the Rule of International Law: Essays in Honour of Professor David Joseph Attard, ed. by Norman A.
