Opis

The New Griffon volume 12 seeks to highlight several discoveries in a variety of areas and time periods: Father Konstantinos Terzopoulos explores 16 manuscripts of Byzantine chant; Leonora Navari presents the published works of Cardinal Bessarion, one of the heroes of Joannes Gennadius because of his active role in promoting the study of Hellenism in Italy; Cristina Pallini dissects an early hand-drawn map of Smyrna; Massimo Pinto considers the works of the 19th-century forger Constantinos Simonidis, a complete set of which was eagerly sought by Gennadius; Stephen Duckworth follows Edward Lears wanderings on Crete through a careful study of his watercolors; and American School Director Jack Davis analyzes topographical drawings connected with the presence of the French in the Peloponnesus in the early 19th century. It includes: Aliki Asvesta who presents a wealth of information from the archive of cartographer Barbie du Bocage; Maria-Christina Chatziioannou who explores the personal archive of Joannes Gennadius to paint a portrait of the Gennadeions founder in the context of British society; and Eleftheria Daleziou who examines the archives of Greek politician Ion Dragoumis, focusing on his exile on Corsica in the early 20th century. The volume is not all-inclusive, as the unique holdings of the Gennadeion could not possibly fit within the pages of a single issue of a journal. Our hope is that readers will be tempted to browse the Librarys catalogue in person or online in order to find their very own hidden treasures.
