Among the many fascinating documents in this Dasa Pahor; catalogue are two
remarkable items of Greek interest
*ITEM 17 *] A multilingual book published by the Patriarchal Press
Συνοψις ιερων ακολουθιων προς ψυκωφελη χρησιν των ευσεβων και ορθοδοξων
χριστιανων [Synopsis hierôn akolouthiôn pros psykophèli Khrèsin tôn eusebôn
kai orthodoxôn christianôn / Summary of Sacred Services for the Charitable
Use of Pious and Orthodox Christians] Istanbul: εκ του Πατριαρχικου
Τυπογραφειου [Patriarchal Press] αωξς [1867], 1895 [date in the coat of
arms on the title page verso]. 12°, [14 pp.], 808 pp., 104 pp., with
originally coloured and gilt coat of arms on the title page verso and 10
interleaved hand-coloured lithographs and 1 black and white lithograph, con
- temporary calf with gilt debossed decoration (old publisher’s stamp on
the verso of the title page, sporadic tears in margins, slightly stained
with light foxing, old bookseller’s stamp on the inner front board, corners
of the binding slightly rubbed, but overall in a good used con - dition).
An unusual Gospel Book, printed by a patriarchal press in Istanbul, with
passages in foreign languages, transcribed into Greek letters, in fine
original binding and accompanied with hand-coloured illustrations. This
unusual Gospel Book or Evangélion was printed in Istanbul by the Greek
patriar - chal press and includes hand-coloured and gilt illustrations.
Parts of the gospels were translated to Church Slavonic, Serbian, Romanian,
Arabic, Ottoman, Latin, French, Italian, German, English and Armenian. As a
curiosity each of these translations to a foreign language has been
transcribed in Greek alphabet on the following page. The goal of this
unusual project, sponsored by the Patriarch of the Greek Orthodox Church in
Istanbul, was probably to approach the liturgy of this church to various
nationals and minorities living in the Ottoman Empire. We could not find
any examples of the book on Worldcat. :
*ITEM 22 ] Konstantinos A Doxiadis*
Αι Θυσίαι της Ελλάδος στον Δεύτερο Παγκόσμιο Πόλεμο / Les Sacrifices de la
Grece à la Seconde Guerre Mondiale / The Sacrifices of Greece in the Second
World War … Athens: Aspioti-Elka, 1946. Folio (47 x 36 cm): 214 pp.
(unpaginated), including 90 full page illustrated plates (most full colour)
of maps, graphs and photographs; bound in orange cloth with illustrated
covers (Good, internally clean, old dedication on the inner side of the
front cover, one map with repaired tear).
A spectacular folio work featuring 90 full page plates, including original
thematic maps and charts of a brilliant mid-century design, created by a
team of profes - sional Greek architects, led by Konstantinos Doxiadis, to
dramatically illustrate the suffering that Greece endured during World War
II, issued in four languages as an evocative appeal to the international
community for support and redress, published in Athens to a very high
quality of colour printing by the leading firm of Aspioti-Elka, by *far and
away the finest and most sophisticated Greek work of thematic cartography
and data visualization of the postwar era*.
Greece suffered greatly during World War II. After fending off a bungled
Italian inva- sion in October 1940, Greece was overrun by the Wehrmacht in
April 1941, beginning a brutal occupation. The country was divided into
German, Albanian and Bulgarian zones of control, although the Nazis ran the
show. The occupation regime was sa distically repressive, starving the
people, resulting in a horrendous famine that killed over 300,000 Greeks,
while the Nazis systematically murdered almost all the country’s ancient
Jewish community. Fortunately, the Greek Resistance, an unlikely coalition
of Royalists and Communists, had fought the occupation throughout, and
managed to hasten the Nazis’ withdraw from much of Greece in November 1944,
although the entire country would not be liberated until the end the war,
the following spring. The war left Greece as something akin to a burnt-out
shell, and while 400,00o Greek deaths can be directly attributed to the
occupation, as many of 1.1 million people died due to indirect causes.
