The New Griffon volume 12 seeks to highlight several discoveries in
a variety of areas and time periods: Father Konstantinos
Terzopoulos explores 16 manuscripts of Byzantine chant; Leonora
Navari presents the published works of Cardinal Bessarion, one of
the heroes of Joannes Gennadius because of his active role in
promoting the study of Hellenism in Italy; Cristina Pallini
dissects an early hand-drawn map of Smyrna; Massimo Pinto considers
the works of the 19th-century forger Constantinos Simonidis, a
complete set of which was eagerly sought by Gennadius; Stephen
Duckworth follows Edward Lear's wanderings on Crete through a
careful study of his watercolors; American School Director Jack
Davis analyzes topographical drawings connected with the presence
of the French in the Peloponnesus in the early 19th century; Aliki
Asvesta presents a wealth of information from the archive of
cartographer Barbié du Bocage; Maria-Christina Chatziioannou
explores the personal archive of Joannes Gennadius to paint a
portrait of the Gennadeion's founder in the context of British
society; and Eleftheria Daleziou examines the archives of Greek
politician Ion Dragoumis, focusing on his exile on Corsica in the
early 20th century. The volume is not all-inclusive, as the unique
holdings of the Gennadeion could not possibly fit within the pages
of a single issue of a journal. Our hope is that readers will be
tempted to browse the Library's catalogue in person or online
(www.gennadius.gr) in order to find their very own hidden
treasures.
