Dear Mr. Leich,
In response to your query on Nephakes, we've checked our lists on the
computer. His name does not seem to appear in any of our references
to published English translations of modern Greek literature or
essays in English on modern Greek literature. We should be glad to
hear back if anyone else sends you good news re. Nephakes in English.
You (and others on the list) may be aware that Wim Bakker and I are
continuing to update my _Checklist of English-Language Sources
Useful in the Study of Modern Greek Literature 1824-1987_ ("CENSUS
1824-1987", for short), originally published by the MGSA in 1990, and
compiling an enlarged edition. We look forward to working with you,
and with all those on the CoHSL list, in this endeavour, to make the
new CENSUS of Modern Greek Literature as accurate and complete as
possible.
Cordially,
Dia Philippides

Hi everybody. One of our readers is looking for English translations of
the poetry of 18th century Maniote poet Niketas Nephakes (Nikhtas
Nhfakhs). I don't find anything in the standard locating catalogs and
databases. Is anybody aware of any English translations of any of his
poetry?
LC actually has only one edition of his poetry in the original,
_Maniatika
historika stichourgemata (Athens: Akademia Athenon, 1964), edited by
Sokrates Kougeas.
Thanks in advance for any leads,
Best regards,

I do not wish to compromise my membership of this list, but occasionally
I find odd and unusual items, such as ephemera and out-of-print books
about Greece, that may be of particular interest to members of this list.
Examples might be things like :
Early issues (1915) of Ethnikos Kyrix
School textbooks for teaching Greek c.1920
Travel brochure about the Acropolis (1945)
Vintage books published in Greek in the USA
Would there be any objection for my mentioning these "finds"
here, before they are posted for sale on the internet ?
This means that you will all get first pick of such items <g>
