The University Library buys a modest number of books in modern Greek each year. Reader requests take priority, and then I select titles that build on our collections.  A primary collecting focus among this work is Cyprus.  We recently received a parcel of Cypriot books published in the last few years, and these are detailed below.

Ho Antiktypos tou Hellēnikou Emphyliou stēn Kypro : hoi politikes, koinōnikooikonomikes, ekpaideutikes kai athlētikes ptyches / Kōnstantina P. Kōnstantinou.  On the impact of the 1944-1948 Greek Civil War on Cyprus.

To Dikaio tēs Thalassas stēn Anatolikē Mesogeio : hē Geōstratēgikē Katalytikotēta tōn AOZ tēs Helladas kai tēs Kypriakēs Dēmokratias / Michalēs Staurinos.  On maritime law and international relations between Cyprus, Greece and Turkey.

Phrouria kai ochyra tēs Kyprou : apo tēn archaiotēta mechri sēmera / Antros Paulidēs.  On forts and fortresses in Cyprus.

I also bought four publications produced by the Kentro Epistēmonikōn Ereunōn (the Cyprus Research Centre), including three titles in their ‘Texts and studies of the history of Cyprus’ series, which we already hold many titles from.  The three new additions for Cambridge in the series are the first titles listed below.

Hē vyzantinē hagiologia tēs Kyprou : hoi hagioi, hoi syngrapheis kai ta keimena (4os – 13os aiōnas) / Stephanos Euthymiadēs.  On the Byzantine saints of Cyprus.
