By Constantine Cavarnos
Volume One of New Library
“In this volume I have brought together reviews and discussions of fifty-two books. I have written these texts over a period of forty years, from 1948 to 1988. [...] have gathered them together in one volume in order to make them easily accessible to scholars and the general reading public. The title of this volume and of others which will follow[...]was suggested by a ninth century work of a somewhat similar nature, the Bibliotheke, ‘Library,’ of St. Photios the Great. The reviews and discussions of books have been selected out of many others that I have written, published and unpublished, chiefly with a view to giving as far as possible a series of significant glimpses of the long Hellenic philosophico-religious tradition, beginning with the classical, pre-Christian period, continuing with the Byzantine, Christian era, and ending with the post-Byzantine or modern centuries.”
