There are no archeological or documentary findings of Jewish presence in Malta during the Fatimid period (870-1090 CE), although in nearby Sicily under the same Arab rule Jews and Christian lived peacefully. Likewise, there is no trace of Jewish presence during Normal rule, form 1091 CE. Only in 1241 the chronicles of Gilibertus Abbate report as few as 25 Jewish families in Malta and 8 in Gozo (compared to 681 Muslim and 1,047 Christian families in Malta, and 155 and 203 respectively in Gozo, although the interpretation of these numbers is contested.
