Review: Ernle Bradford’s The Great Siege: Malta 1565, 1961, its New Subtitle of 2010-2019, Clash of Cultures: Christian Knights Defend Western Civilization Against the Moslem Tide, and the Deliberate Omission of 16th c. Burmola (Burmula-Bormola-Bormla-Cospicua) – A Best-Selling Falsification of History in the 21st Century

Abstract: This review addresses the questionable practice of adding a subtitle to an author’s work after his death, and questions the terms employed in this newly added subtitle. It then enquires into the omis­sion of mention a place from the author’s 1961 published account of the 1565 siege. The omission of a settlement that at the time of the siege was known as, Burmola, the location of the “Campo di Turchi”, the Ottoman-Muslim camp after the taking of Fort St. Elmo on the 23rd of June 1565. It suggests the rea­son for the omission of this toponym from this book was due to the author’s relationship with the politics in Malta at the time the book was being written in the late 1950’s, it being the birthplace and power base of Dom Mintoff. The consequences of the omission of this toponym from this historical bestseller have had consequences over the past 60 years in peoples’ perception of the city and of the history of Burmo­la/Bormla/Cospicua, and have had consequences in terms of the preservation of heritage in this city.

Keywords: Great Siege Malta 1565, Burmola, Bormola, Bormla, Ernle Bradford, Francesco Balbi di Cor­reggio, Dom Mintoff

Öz: Bu kitap eleştirisi bir yazarın tercih ettiği başlığa ölümünden sonra tekrarlanan baskılarda yapılan ekler konusunu ele almak ve bu eklerde kullanılan sözcük seçimlerini tartışmak amaçlıdır. Eleştiride ele alınacak ikinci konu da yazarın 1961 tarihli ilk baskıda Osmanlı ordusunun St. Elmo kalesini 23 Haziran 1565’de ele geçirdikten sonra kamp kurduğu (Campo di Turchi) Burmola kasabası anlatısında tamamen yok saymış ol­masıdır. Bunun nedeni kasabanın, kitabın yazıldığı 1950’lerde Malta politikasında etkin olan Dom Min­toff’un doğum yeri olması ve yazarın politik bağlarının bu konuda etken olmasıdır. Kasabanın isminin (Burmola/Bormla/Cospicua) bu çok satan tarihi yayında zikredilmemesi geçtiğimiz 60 yıl içinde kentin algı­sı ve tarihi üzerinde buna bağlı olarak da tarihi mirasının korunması konusunda olumsuz etkileri olmuştur.

Anahtar sözcükler: Büyük Malta Kuşatması 1565, Burmola, Bormola, Bormla, Ernle Bradford, Francesco Bal­bi di Correggio, Dom Mintoff
