'Exhaustive architectural monographs are few and seldom provided with adequate illustrations. This sumptuous volume is then a rarity, describing not only the fabric of Malta's notable Co-Cathedral, but also photographing every monument and giving the text of every inscription. This quality of completeness deserves the highest praise. A short introduction on the Order of Knights Hospitaller puts the church in its historical background, and its architecture is then described by Mr. Raymond Judge and from notes by Dr. Quentin Hughes, who regards the building, in spite of its High Renaissance style and decora-tion, as essentially an example of the Early Baroque based on the churches of the Counter Reformation and especially on the Ges.
