Bibliographies

Eliou, Philippos. Hellenike Vivliographia tou 19ou aiona Vivliographiko Ergasteri. Athens, 1997. Bobst Z2309.E45 1997 Oversize

This bibliography consists of two sections; the first documents books and pamphlets, the second, flyers and maps. Several of the titles include publication history (number of editions, reprints, publicity and reception). The bibliography is organized by year. Within each year, the texts are arranged alphabetically by title. In addition to a general index, additional indices are arranged by place of publication, publisher/printer, illustrator, and location.

The third, fourth and fifth volumes (gamma, delta, epsilon) of He Palaiotere Pezographia mas covers the period 1830-1880. These volumes constiute the second part of a twenty-eight volume series on Modern Greek prose from the fifteenth century to the beginnings of the Greek junta in 1967. Twenty-six authors with portraits and complete lists of works are included in addition to a selected bibliography and criticism by contemporary or later authors.

The three subsequent volumes (sigma-tau, zeta, eta) cover the period 1880-1900. Twenty-eight authors are here presented. These volumes are compiled as the previous ones, with a brief introduction, a sample of works and bibliography for each author, a list of complete works, selected criticism and illustrations.
