Additions to Modern Greek History in the "Gennadeion"

Abstract

T rHE following are some of the principal additions to the department of modern Greek history in the Gennadeion at Athens since the publication of my article' in December, 1930. Since that date there have been added to the library, 4,413 volumes on various subjects, including some duplicates; viz., 1,692 purchased or presented, exclusive of 945 volumes from the library of the late German scholar, Gerland, and 1,776 presented by Mme Gennadius after the death of her husband. Larger funds have enabled the present librarian, Mr. Clarence G. Lowe, to make greater acquisitions than was possible for his predecessor, and his termination of the catalogue has made the library more accessible to students. Of these additions to the shelves, a considerable number deal with Greek history since 1821. The war of independence is represented by D. Loukopoulos, 'O PovU/eXXTr1S KaIrETalvos rovi 1821 (Athens, 1931); K. Strupp, Die Beziehungen zwischen Griechenland und der Tiirkei von 1820-1830 (Breslau, 1932); Princess Helene Ypsilanti's monograph on Metternichs Stellung zum griechischen Freiheitskampf (typewritten copy, unpublished); and G. Remerand's biography of Ali de Tebelen (Paris, 1929). There are also three works on Capo d'Istria: 'H 'EOVLK? T2vvE1a?7ots rovi Karow and 'Iw6vvqs Karoblo-rplas (Athens, 1932) by D. Gatopoulos, the aide-de-camp of former President Zaimes, who contributes interesting articles on modern Greek history to the Athenian newspaper 'Earla. P. Kontogiannes has issued a collection of Historical documents relating to the Greek Revolution (Athens, 1927); and S. Laskaris, a nephew of the late Professor Andreades, a treatise on Philhellenism in Germany during the Greek Revolution (Athens, n.d.), a subject also treated by Karl Dietrich in two volumes: Aus Briefen und Tagebiihern zum deutschen Philhellenismus 1821-28 (Hamburg, 1928) and Deutsche Philhellenen in Griechenland 1821-1832 (Hamburg, 1929). Besides a collection of American philhellenic papers there are two volumes edited by Laura E.
