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.
Dia
