The staircase of the “Bibliotheca” of the Order of Saint John in Valletta is one of the most important examples of early 17th century stereotomy in Malta. It is the monumental epilogue of a long series characterised by the need to adapt international models to the specificity of the local construction community, i.e. stereotomy. Before analysing its constructive aspects, the most significant local precedents are retraced to identify local models and consolidated practices.

Abstract
The staircase of the “Bibliotheca” of the Order of Saint John in Valletta is one of the most important examples of early 17th century stereotomy in Malta. It is the monumental epilogue of a long series characterised by the need to adapt international models to the specificity of the local construction community, i.e. stereotomy. Before analysing its constructive aspects, the most significant local precedents are retraced to identify local models and consolidated practices.
