See More... (Cyprus) Cobham, Claude Delaval EXCERPTA CYPRIA, MATERIALS FOR A HISTORY OF CYPRUS WITH AN APPENDIX ON THE BIBLIOGRAPHY OF CYPRUS.
(Mansfield Centre, CT Martino Publishing 2001) 8vo. cloth (vi), 523+(1) pages
Reprint of title originally published by Cambridge University Press in 1908. (Besterman 1550). Three centuries of Ottoman rule, characterized by the almost complete spiritual and cultural isolation of Cyprus from Europe, let the country fall into a state of economic, social and cultural decline. In 1878, Cyprus was handed over to Great Britain, although this was still a time of harsh exploitation of the Cypriots. This volume is a collection of papers printed between 1892 and 1895 as a supplement to the Owl, a newspaper published in Nicosia, the capital. Cobham collected and translated these papers in an effort to provide materials for a history of Cyprus. The end of the book is a bibliography with approximately 1000 titles on the subject. Index.

  de Dampierre, Jacques ESSAI SUR LES SOURCES DE L'HISTOIRE DES ANTILLES FRANÇAISES (1492-1664)
Mansfield Centre Martino Publishing 2004 tall 8vo. cloth. [v], xl, 239 pages.
Facsimile reprint of the original 1904 edition (See Besterman 6526-6527). The French Antilles form two French overseas provinces (Départements), one being the island of Martinique, the other Guadeloupe. The French half of the island of St. Maarten/St. Martin is part of Guadeloupe.
The first inhabitants several hundred years before Christ were the Arawaks, an Indian tribe. They became extinct around the 9th century at the hands of the Karibs. Columbus's fleet landed on Guadeloupe on November 3, 1493. The Spanish showed little interest in the island, which they though inhospitable, and, as a consequence, the first settlers were French farmers, mostly from Normandie, the Bretagne or the Charente. Farming was not profitable at first, so the island was sold to Charles Houel, who started the economic growth of the island with plantations of sugar, coffee and cocoa. Later, the island was owned by the Compagnie des Indes, then by King Louis XIV. The island survived attacks by the Dutch and was also occupied by the British.
During the 18th century, it was a haven for buccaneers and residents of the Caribbean islands lived mostly by attacking and looting foreign cargo.
This early bibliography is one of the most extensive on French possessions in the Caribbean and has never been reprinted previously. 1000 items are described.
