Dear June,
You're outside my range of knowledge (as you know, I maintain a
record of the translations of modern Greek literature into English),
but I do recommend (to you and to all, for records of trs. into
Greek) K.G. Kasines, Bibliographia twn ellenikwn metafrasewn ths
xenis logotechnias 18-20 aiwnas (tom. prwtos, 1801-1900. Athenai:
Syllogos pros Diadosin Wfelimwn Bibliwn, 2006) (my translit rough).
The book's index helped me locate entries # 92, 93, 94, 95, 96, 97,
98, and 265 (publics ranging 1819-1838) -- all of which may
constitute answers to your specific query. Can provide a xerox of the
pages/refs., if you wish.

I have checked the usual library sources including WorldCat and
HEAL (http://www.unioncatalog.gr/
but can find no listings for a Greek edition like this
Suspect it may never have received enough financial support get printed and
published
However ANY information about this would be most welcome

My apologies for any cross-posting.
Colleagues,
We have had several requests to repeat our Second Life Virtual
Archives Open House. The next open house will be on August 20, 2009
from 1:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. The
SLURL address (this is the Second Life location for the Stanford
University Special Collections’ Virtual Archive):
http://slurl.com/secondlife/Stanford%20University%20Libraries/85/224/33
For those of you who do not have access to Second Life from work but
are interested in our project, you can see a short demo Jonas Karlsson
, virtual worlds researcher at the Xerox Research Center Webster,
created of his experience in our archive:
https://www.stanford.edu/group/ic/cgi-bin/drupal2/node/763
My apologies for any cross-posting.
Best,
Mattie
Here is the official announcement:
Have you heard about virtual worlds? Ever wonder what how they might
be used in the world of archives and special collections?
Come find out at Stanford University’s Special Collections and
University Archives’ virtual “Open House” in the virtual world Second
Life on Thursday, August 20, 2009 from 1:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. (PST).
Drop in anytime during these hours for an overview of our new Virtual
Archives which allows scholars to discover and use our primary
resources in a virtual environment.
For the first time scholars and the casual passersby can walk
Stanford's closed stacks and browse some of our manuscript
collections—a practice not offered in real life. Stanford's Virtual
Archive is a very small but growing subset of our deep storage
facility replicated in Second Life. Patrons can open virtual Hollinger
boxes and a sampling of scanned documents from the real life box will
appear along with a link to that collection’s online finding aid. They
can then post their reference questions on the bulletin board which
sends email to our Special Collections staff. Stanford's Virtual
Archive provides access to patrons around the world without
endangering the collection.
Second Life (SL) is a virtual world where more than 15 million users
have created avatars--or online personas--enabling them to explore SL
and interact with others from in real time. Reference in SL occurs
through in-world text and voice chat as well as our reference bulletin
board.
Please join us at our Open House to learn more at the following SLURL
address (this is the Second Life location for the Stanford University
Special Collections’ Virtual Archive):
http://slurl.com/secondlife/Stanford%20University%20Libraries/85/224/33
This address launches the Second Life application from your web
browser. For those not already in SL, joining is free at
http://secondlife.com/ and we will be happy to help get you acclimated
in-world. Look for Sicilia Tiratzo and my colleague in SL, Mollie
Mavendorf. We will be on hand to demonstrate the archives site and
answer your questions. We look forward to seeing you “in world” on
August 20th.
