First and only edition of this exceedingly rare and one of the earliest church regulations of the Greek Orthodox community of Attalia Antalya. Attalia was not a large urban center or major trading hub but neither was the Greek Community marginal and it was well integrated into the regional economy. It was different from other areas in Asia Minor due to a combination of factors ranging between demography geography local Orthodox leadership and the city's social milieu. In contrast to the West-coast cities and many villages in Asia Minor with Orthodox majorities Attalia's population was only about one-third Orthodox. The main area of difference in Antalya was the Community leadership which was key to the maintenance of cordial relationships between Christians and Muslims and the secular and ecclesiastical elements of Orthodox leadership in Antalya tended to cooperate for collective benefit. Throughout this period a local elite managed to control education and other Community institutions perpetuating an identity that was compatible with the local Ottoman context. In this last period the Greek Community printed several books and tractates including a brief history of Antalya and this "regulation book" in the Meli Printing House which was the only printing house of the Greek Community in Antalya. Only one institutional copy is located in OCLC 1030075331 Suna Kiraç Library of the Koç University. Typg. N. K. Meli [or Mele] paperback

A direct by-product of the Council of Trent the production of the Septuagint was the suggestion of Cardinal Pole who encouraged making available the Bible in Hebrew and Greek as well as the Latin vulgate in order to counter charges of the Reformers.

The subsequent growth of the collection especially in the sections dealing with Crete and Cyprus has made it necessary to divide the volume into two parts the second of which is the first to be ready for issue'. The preface in Part I 1925 adds that 'The lapse of time consequent on the interruption of the War and the further growth of the collection have caused an additional sub-division. The Second Part of Vol. I is devoted to the special groups of Cypriote Early Italian and Etruscan Vases.

From Wikipedia: "The National Liberation Front was the main movement of the Greek Resistance during the Axis occupation of Greece during World War II. Its main driving force was the Communist Party of Greece KKE but its membership throughout the Occupation period included several other leftist and republican groups. EAM became the first true mass social movement in modern Greek history and even established its own government the Political Committee of National Liberation in the areas it had liberated in spring 1944. At the same time from late 1943 onwards the political enmity between EAM and rival resistance groups from the centre and right evolved into a virtual civil war which was ended only with the Lebanon conference in May 1944. The organisation reached its peak after Liberation in late 1944 when it controlled most of the country before suffering a catastrophic military and political defeat in the December 1944 events. This marked the beginning of its gradual decline and the open persecution of its members accusing it for crimes against political rivals and Soviet perspective and leading eventually to the outbreak of the Greek Civil War.After Liberation in October 1944 the tensions between EAM and right-wing nationalist or western-oriented republican forces which were supported by Great Britain escalated. Originally as agreed at the Lebanon conference EAM participated in the government of national unity under George Papandreou with 6 ministers. Due to disagreements regarding the disarmament of ELAS and the formation of a national army on 1 December the EAMite ministers left. EAM organized a demonstration in Athens on December 3 1944 against British interference. The exact details of what happened have been debated ever since but gendarmes opened fire on the crowd resulting in 25 dead protesters including a six-year-old boy and 148 wounded. This clash escalated into a month-long conflict between ELAS and the British and Greek governmental forces known as the "December events" Dekemvrianá which resulted in a British and Greek government victory. In February the Varkiza agreement was endorsed leading to the disbandment of ELAS. In April the S and LD parties left EAM. EAM was not dissolved but was hence for all intents and purposes merely an expression of the KKE. During the 1945-1946 period a conservative terror campaign the "White Terror" was launched against EAM-KKE supporters. The country became polarized eventually leading to the outbreak of the Greek Civil War in March 1946 which lasted until 1949. In its aftermath and in the context of the Cold War KKE was outlawed and EAM/ELAS vilified as an attempt at "Communist take-over" and accused for various crimes against political rivals. The issue remains a highly controversial subject to this day. With the coming of Andreas Papandreou to power in 1981 however EAM was recognized as a resistance movement and the fighters of ELAS were honored and given state pensions."

2009réf. 727Chestertown Md: Chester River Press 2009. First thus. Hardcover. New/New. Lawrence Avery. New still in publisher's shrink-wrap. This scarce two-volume set of "The Iliad" and "The Odyssey" a 2009 first edition/first printing is the very definition of a "fine edition" and it might be the very definition of "luxury item" as well. It was published by Chester River Press a firm that specializes in bespoke books that are designed in cooperation with the individual commissioning a publication. In this case that anonymous individual went all out with separate hardcover folio copies for each text with the original Homeric Greek edited by Barry B. Powell Professor of Classics Emeritus at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in parallel columns with the great Alexander Pope translation. Steven Shankman Professor Emeritus at the University of Oregon and UNESCO Chair in Transcultural Studies Interreligious Dialogue and Peace wrote a two-part introduction that tells the reader first about Homer then about Pope. It may be the illustrations that make these volumes especially distinguished however. Most of the approximately 55 original prints produced by Avery Lawrence are in the form of full-page recreations of red-and-black Greek pottery that illustrate the stories being told.if "recreations" is the right word for images that follow the exacting artistic forms but still spring from Lawrence's imagination. The facing captions provide the applicable quotes for the action being depicted but also the date and even the artist or collector of the vessel used as a prototype. The print is dignified and sized to be easy to read and the paper is sturdy without being overly thick in a cream color that is gentle on the eyes. They are bound in identical black Dutch cloth with differences in their decoration and obviously their lettering but following the same format. "The Iliad" has an ancient Greek plumed helmet in profile stamped in gold on its front cover. A smaller copy of that helmet is at the top of the spine with the publisher's name at the bottom. The title in large Greek letters is between. All are stamped in bright gold. "The Odyssey" is similar in appearance. Instead of a helmet its cover is decorated with an ancient Greek ship and the title is again in Greek lettering. Unlike many books that come in slipcases these volumes have dustjackets made of sturdy glossy black paper. The spines of the dustjackets match the spines of the binding of the volumes only with orange printing instead of gold but the covers are quite different from the covers of the volume bindings. Here the Greek titles are printed in large orange letters with the titles repeated in smaller orange letters beneath along with Homer's and Alexander Pope's names. Shankman's and Lawrence's names are beneath those even smaller again in orange. We have described the text block to some extent above but we did not mention that each volume has a bright gilt top edge and comes with double black and gold satin ribbon bookmarks. The two volumes share a single slipcase and in this case even that slipcase is extraordinary - black sturdy with an attached broad satin ribbon that is serves as a booklift to help take the volumes out without damage. There are also small blocks built into the bottom of the interior of the slipcase that serve as supports for the text blocks so they don't drag on the binding helpful as the volumes are substantive and large: 15"x13"x1.75" to 2". These books won't be easy to cuddle up with but they will be volumes to be treasured as exemplars of the book arts. That is likely why institutions as far afield as the National Library of New Zealand and as prestigious as the Wren Library at Trinity College Cambridge University have copies. Now you can possess one too. Ours are new and still in shrink wrap as delivered by the publisher. See attached photos. Happy to address any questions.

Paraphrase in Homeric language and verse and its translation in Latin prose on opposite pages with a prefatory treatise on the ancient versions of the Old Testament. Translated by Jacob Duport. "Immediately after the Restoration he was made one of the king's chaplains and reinstated in the possession of his prebend at Lincoln but not of the archdeaconry of Stow as he preferred holding his fellowship and vice-mastership in Trinity College. Widdrington was now dispossessed of the Greek professorship and Duport restored to it but he resigned the chair the same year in favour of his pupil Isaac Barrow. On 19 July 1660 he was by royal mandate with many other learned divines created D.D. at Cambridge Kennett p. 251. He was installed dean of Peterborough 27 July 1664. In 1668 on the death of Dr. John Howorth master of Magdalene College Duport was recalled to Cambridge and appointed by James earl of Suffolk possessor of Audley End to fill the vacant headship. In the following year Duport was elected vice-chancellor of the university. Bishop Monk says that Duport 'appears to have been the main instrument by which literature was upheld in this university Cambridge during the civil dissensions in the seventeenth century and though seldom named and little known at present he enjoyed an almost transcendent reputation for a great length of time among his contemporaries as well as in the generation which immediately succeeded" DNB.

In 1758 Baskerville proposed the casting of a new set of Greek types to the Oxford University Press and they ordered 2000 copies of this octavo New Testament plus 500 in quarto to be printed with the resulting type - which ended up being its only use. Negative critical reception may have contributed to its abandonment but Baskerville’s Greek face has recently been reassessed by Gerry Leonidas as an important predecessor of more modern types if perhaps not quite as elegant as that used by the Foulis press that had fallen afoul of an arbitrary typographic orthodoxy.
