The document summarizes the history of the knights of Saints Maurice and Lazarus and how they helped 38 Italian families evacuate from the island of Tabarka off the coast of Tunisia in the face of death threats from the Bey of Tunis. The knights carried the families on boats to the island of Sant'Antioco off the coast of Sardinia, where they founded the village of Calasetta. The knights provided each family with money, building materials, land, tools, seeds, and livestock to help them start their new lives.
