Staikos, Konstantinos Sp. GREEK LIBRARY: THE KONSTANTINOS SP. STAIKOS BOOK COLLECTION HENCEFORTH THE ALEXANDER S. ONASSIS PUBLIC BENEFIT FOUNDATION LIBRARY.
New Castle, Delaware Oak Knoll Press 2011 9 x 12.25 inches hardcover 550 pages
Greek Library is a bibliography of the collection of Konstantinos Sp. Staikos acquired by the Library of the Alexander S. Onassis Public Benefit Foundation. This collection represents the entire spectrum of the intellectual pursuits of the Greeks of the Diaspora, extending over a period from the Early Renaissance until the late years of Neo-Hellenic Enlightenment. The books in this collection not only exemplify Greek printing and publishing activities, but they demonstrate the participation of Greeks in international politics and religious matters in the courts of empires such as Russia and Austria.

The collection includes more than 1,200 titles divided into five sections. The first section, Renaissance-Humanism, discusses first editions of Greek literature, grammaires, and Lexikons. The other sections examine Neo-Hellenic literature, liturgies, theology, and the Neo-Hellenic Enlightenment. Among these sections, poetry, novels, mythistories, gospels, psalters, the Old and New Testament, Works of the Greek Fathers, Dogmatic works, translations of European literature, and specimens of Greek typography in many places are examined.

For each listed book, full bibliographical notes, references in standard bibliographies, provenance, comments, notes, and descriptions by the writer are provided. There are over 700 printers' marks listed, as well as many title pages and portraits of writers, publishers, and editors. A general introduction, introductions for each section, a general index, and an index of printers are also included.

Staikos, Konstantinos Sp. PRINTERS' & PUBLISHERS' MARKS IN BOOKS FOR THE GREEK WORLD (1494-1821).
New Castle, Delaware Oak Knoll Press and HES & DE GRAAF 2009 8.75 x 12.25 inches hardcover, dust jacket 254 pages
This book contains reproductions of the printers and publishers marks of all those - both Greeks and non-Greeks - who printed or published books for Greek readers from the dawn of typography until just before the outbreak of the Greek War of Independence in 1821. Their aim was to preserve the historical memory of the modern Greeks, to foster the use of the Greek language, and to uphold the Orthodox faith. Also reproduced here are the crests and coats of arms of the rulers of the Danubian principalities who actively supported the publication and dissemination of Greek books in the East. Some of the devices are the marks of well-known printing houses, where Greek scholars and calligraphers were largely responsible for the accuracy of the texts and the visual appearance of the book, such as the firms of Aldus Manutius in Venice and Robert Estienne in Paris. All this printing and publishing activity, even if limited to only books containing printers or publishers marks, covered a vast area of the Western and Eastern worlds. The list of places where these books were produced includes Alcalá, Bucharest, Constantinople, Florence, Geneva, Jassy, Kefallonia, London, Milan, Moschopolis, Mount Athos, Paris, Rome, Venice, and Vienna.

The marks are illustrated and described in all their variant forms, complete with bibliographical references, identifications, a general index, and an index of printers and printing houses. They are shown at actual size and presented chronologically. Includes a brief message to the reader by the author, as well as an extensive and detailed introduction.
