Guzè passes away

I was saddened with the news of the death of Guzè Cassar-Pullicino, a pioneer in Maltese folklore studies. His formidable academic credentials earned him the respect of the Maltese intelligentsia and others.

Cassar-Pullicino, who was born in 1921, authored a number of studies on Maltese literature and folklore; his latest, published in 2003, dealing with riddle telling as a means of popular philosophy.
