Introduction

THE BANK OF CYPRUS CULTURAL FOUNDATION

The oldest banking institution on the island, the Bank of Cyprus was found-
ed in 1899 and has since played a significant role in Cyprus’ economic and
socio-cultural development. In 1984, only a decade after the Turkish inva-
sion and occupation of the island’s Northern part, the Bank treads once
again on new ground by founding the Cultural Foundation with a clearly
delineated objective: contribute to the preservation of the cultural heritage
of Cyprus that has been looted or stolen by the occupying army.

Established on the basis of the Law on Associations of Citizens and Foun-

dations, the Cultural Foundation is the first non-profit foundation in Cyprus
to be endowed by a banking institution. Governed by separate statutes and
run by an independent council appointed by the Group’s Board of Directors,
it is housed in the old administrative building of the Bank of Cyprus, erected
in 1936 in the historical center of Nicosia near Phaneromeni Church, within
the Venetian wall.

OBJECTIVES
The Cultural Foundation’s objectives are primarily focused on preserving
and promoting the island’s cultural and natural heritage in both Cyprus and
abroad. Further, the Foundation aspires to bring the Cypriot public closer to
the history, art and culture of the broader Hellenic area and of other nations.

From a Cyprological perspective, its objectives are achieved by placing par-

ticular emphasis on research into primary and other sources in the fields of
archaeology, history, art and literature. Research is complemented by pub-

7
Project.eng 2_Layout 1 10/11/2010 10:50 ΠΜ Page 9

lications that span all the aforementioned fields; also, by hosting events, ed-
ucational programs and lectures in order to preserve and enrich the collec-
tions the Bank of Cyprus bequeathed to the Cultural Foundation. Moreover,
the Foundation frequently finds practical ways to endorse the arts and cul-
ture on the whole.
Today, the Cultural Foundation curates two museums and six collections of
rare value. With a firm belief that it is our duty to make this wealth available
to the public, we have embarked on an ambitious program of scientific pub-
lications devoted to the whole range of the Foundation Collections.

PUBLICATIONS BY THE BANK OF CYPRUS CULTURAL FOUNDATION

Since its inception in 1984, the Cultural Foundation has developed a signif-
icant publishing program and has to date published more than 125 books,
each serving to enrich the bibliography of Cyprus and further research in
the fields of Cartography, Numismatics, History and Archaeology, Cypriot
art and Cypriot literature, including literature for children and young adults.
The Cultural Foundation also publishes exhibition catalogues, guides to ar-
chaeological sites and Byzantine monuments that help to promote cultural
tourism, publications on the environment and audiovisual materials.

Our publications can be found at Agora, the Cultural Foundation bookstore

and gift shop, located at 86–90, Phaneromeni Street in old Nicosia. Alter-
natively, an order may be placed in www.cyprusculture.com which also
provides an option for posting items abroad.

Cypriot Cartography

Launched in 1986, the “Cypriot Cartography” series brings

together publications pertaining to Cyprus’ cartographic
history. It includes separate publications and the Cyprus Car-
tography Lectures, as it aims at promoting the island’s his-
tory of cartography along with its political, historical and na-
tional implications.

Maps of the Mediterranean Regions

Published in British Parliamentary Papers, 1801–1921

AUTHOR : S. Gole

A product of Susan Gole’s exhaustive research, awarded by the Cultural Foundation’s re-
search program, the book treads until recently uncharted territory in international bibli-
ography: the utterly ignored cartographic material attached to many of the British Parlia-
mentary Papers. Out of a total of two to three thousand maps included in approximately
8000 volumes of all papers submitted to the British House of Commons (bills, memos,
diplomatic and commercial reports etc) the author brings to light, classifies and presents
hitherto unknown cartographic material consisting of 330 printed maps and topographic
plans of the Mediterranean and the Black Sea regions between 1801–1921, which saw
the British Empire at its height.

From its Origin in the Mediterranean Sea to its Development by European Seamen

AUTHOR : Ch. Terrell

Lecture given in May 1997 by Commander Christopher Terrell, Head of the Department
of Navigation at the National Maritime Museum at Greenwich until 1987, on the evolution
of the sea chart from its origins to nowadays. In a long journey that began from the early
thirteenth-century sea charts on vellum to reach the nineteenth-century sophisticated
British hydrographical surveys, chart-making underwent a variety of phases ranging from
the Mediterranean portolans to the great contribution of the French eighteenth-century
school of organised hydrography.

Kitchener's Survey of Cyprus 1878 –1883

The First Full Triangulated Survey and Mapping of the Island

AUTHOR : R. Shirley

Following the rich production of maps of Cyprus in the sixteenth century, known as the
“golden age” of Cypriot cartography, the island had remained unmapped during the three
hundred years of Ottoman occupation until 1878 when the unexpected British takeover
prompted the need for a modern triangulated survey. This “remarkable feat” was accom-
plished by the young Lieutenant Kitchener who was later to rise to become the famous
Rt Hon. Earl Kitchener of Khartoum. In the Andreas Hadjipaschalis Memorial Lecture de-
livered in Nicosia on 17 November 1999, Rodney Shirley, author of the standard reference
book The Mapping of the World, traces the various phases of the five-year-long survey,
gives detailed background information, especially about Kitchener’s relations with the
British authorities, and presents fresh documents from the Public Archives of Cyprus.

[Cyprus at the Azimuths of the Wind. Orientations of Depictions by European

Cartographers of Cyprus, 14th–19th Century]

EDITED BY : E. Livieratos

A supplement to the exhibition entitled “Cyprus at the Azimuths of the Wind” held in Thes-
saloniki in June 2003 within the context of events to mark the European Union Summit
Conference. It is a deluxe publication that includes maps of Cyprus from the 14th to the
19th century by European cartographers of the time, from Ptolemy’s Geography to repre-
sentatives of all the great European schools of cartography — Italian, Dutch, British, Ger-
man, French, Spanish, etc. The maps come from the Collection of the Bank of Cyprus Cul-
tural Foundation and are complemented with illustrations taken from important
publications on cartography. The maps are analysed with the use of pioneering tech-
niques developed in recent years at the National Map Library on the basis of the orienta-
tion of the historical depictions of Cyprus compared with today’s model, that is, of its az-
imuthal deviations from today’s direction of north.

Cyprus 1542
The Great Map of the Island by Leonida Attar

AUTHORS : F. C. Romanelli, G. Grivaud

The 7th lecture in the series “Cyprus Cartography”, entitled “Cyprus 1542: The great map
of the island by Leonida Attar” was delivered in October 2003. The large scale map of
Cyprus (139×64 cm), coloured with the use of the aquarelle technique was drawn in 1542
by Cypriot Leonida Attar. Attar was appointed by the Venetian authorities as a specialist
in irrigation works and military fortifications, which he undertook together with Michelle
and Girolamo Sanmicheli in both Venice and Cyprus. At the same time, he acquired tech-
nical knowledge and experience in drawing maps. The map remained hidden in the
archives of Venice from the 16th century onwards, most likely for strategic and military
reasons, and was practically unknown until a few years ago. The discovery and study of
the map by the authors has demonstrated its importance as a primary source for cartog-
raphy and the history of Cyprus.

TEXTS BY : Ch. Hadjichristodoulou, I. Hadjicosti

In celebration of its twenty-fifth anniversary, the Bank of Cyprus Cultural Foundation pub-
lished a numbered collectors’ folder (1– 500), entitled Maps of Cyprus. From the 16th to the
18th century. Eleven facsimiles from the cartographic collection of the Bank of Cyprus Cultural
Foundation. The maps have been reproduced from the originals of the Foundation’s car-
tographic collection dating from the 16th to the 18th century. These rare, notable maps
of Cyprus were printed and circulated throughout Europe; they contain important infor-
mation on both mapping itself and the island’s centuries-long tumultuous history. Apart
from maps of Cyprus, the folder includes a significant group of maps of the Mediterranean
and the Near East, featuring Cyprus. The latter display illustrations of important historical
events such as the journey of Aeneas from Troy to Rome linked to that of Odysseus from
Troy to Ithaca, the march of Alexander the Great to Asia and the itinerary of the Apostle
Paul’s missionary journeys.

Cyprus on Historical Maps

Placement, Shape and Orientation from a Digital Point of View

AUTHOR : E. Livieratos

This study undertakes a geometrical analysis of specific historical cartographic represen-

tations of Cyprus from the 14th to the 19th century, in terms of its geographical position
at the Easternmost end of the Mediterranean, its exceptionally mnemonic shape and the
island’s orientation toward the geographic North.

Further, applying widely used methods and techniques of digital cartography, an analysis
is achieved of morphic templates, namely of Cyprus’ contour. Various historical maps from
the 15th to the 18th century are also ranked with an emphasis on the Renaissance carto-
graphic period.

Cyprus: 2500 Years of Coinage

AUTHOR : A. Pitsillides

In the 1960s, the Bank of Cyprus started building a collection of ancient coins through
purchases from European Houses, which it bequeathed to the Cultural Foundation in
1984. The initial collection comprised a bronze coin of the Roman period bearing the in-
scription KOINON KYPRION [confederation of Cypriot cities] which, as a symbol of the old-
est Pan-Cypriot union, became the official emblem of the Bank of Cyprus. The illustrated
folio Cyprus: 2500 Years of Coinage traces the development of Cypriot coinage through
the centuries.

exhibition was repeated three years later at the Cabinet des Médailles of the National Li-
brary of France. The aim of both the exhibition and its catalogue was to present a survey
of 2200 years of Cypriot history through its coins. 222 coins of Cypriot city-kingdoms (6th
– 4th century BC) from the Hellenistic, Roman, Byzantine, Frankish and Venetian periods
were in display. The exhibition closed with the coins minted in 1571 by the Venetian gov-
ernor of Famagusta, while under Ottoman siege, Marc Antonio Bragadino.

[The Consolidation of Hellenism in Cyprus During the Period of the City-Kingdoms as

AUTHOR : Y. Kypri
EDITED BY : E. Zapiti

In May 1999, on the occasion of the International Museum Day, the Chairman of the Cul-
tural Foundation and Financial Director of the Bank of Cyprus, Yiannis Kypri, employed a
wealth of visual material to trace significant developments that took place in Cyprus from
the Late Bronze Age — when the Achaeans settled on the island — until the period of the

Coinage as Evidence for the Changing Prosperity of

Cyprus in Byzantine and Medieval Times

AUTHOR : D. M. Metcalf

Metcalf examines how coinage can provide evidence for the study of the changing pros-
perity of Medieval Cyprus. Following an overview of his subject, the author focuses on
two examples: the first concerns the effects on monetary economy caused by the loss of
Famagusta to the Genoese in 1371. The second explores the effect of the Arab raids on
the coinage of Cyprus during the second half of the seventh century. Both examples shed
light on the methods required for establishing the relation between Coinage and History.
The first half of the publication makes reference to James R. Stewart and the Stavrokonnos
hoard. The presentation is completed by two annexes.

Αρχαίοι Ολυμπιακοί Αγώνες και Νόμισμα

Ancient Olympic Games and Coinage

AUTHOR : P. Tselekas

The lecture entitled “Ancient Olympic Games and Coinage” was given in 2004 on the oc-
casion of the return of the Olympic Games to Greece. Now published, it provides an in-
teresting record of this sacred institution as well as of the ancient site of Olympia. In par-
allel with the testimony provided by excavations, literary sources and inscriptions, the
coins of Elis, ranked among the most beautiful of the ancient world, provide valuable in-
formation on this supreme institution. The coinage of Elis, the city that used to host the
Olympic Games, in tandem with the coins of other minting authorities featuring illustra-
tions of the Games, provide a wider understanding of the religious, economic, political
and artistic dimensions of the ancient Olympic Games.

Pierides Collection

AUTHORS : V. Karageorghis et al.

Published to coincide with the opening of the Museum of the George and Nefeli Giabra
Pierides Collection (donation by Clio and Solon Triantafyllides), the collection covers a
wide range of Cypriot history and archaeology from the Early Bronze Age (2500 BC) to
the end of the Medieval period (16th century). This chronological sequence has dictated
the structure and design of the publication. It is worth noting that this is the first time the
Collection is published in its entirety. The aim of the scientific catalogue is to document
the immense historical and archaeological value of the Collection, present it to the wider
public and submit it to the scholars for study.

Venetian Letters (1354 –1512)

From the Archives of the Bank of Cyprus Cultural Foundation and other
Cypriot Collections

EDITED BY : B. Arbel

This edition presents manuscript Venetian letters from the Collection of Manuscripts and
Old Editions of the Foundation as well as letters from other Cypriot collectors. In total,
twenty important letters are presented, dating from 1354 to 1512. More specifically, four-
teen of the letters come from the Foundation Collections, three from the private collection
of Paul and Nina Pastides, two from another private collection and one from the collection
of the Leventis Municipal Museum in Nicosia. The letters were written by Venetian mer-
chants and contain information on commercial activities and trading networks of the
eastern Mediterranean, especially Cyprus. Throughout the course of the 15th century, the
Venetians controlled the movement of goods between the Eastern Mediterranean and
Western Europe and enjoyed a monopoly over the movement of goods produced in Ve-
netian colonies.

Louis-François Cassas and Cyprus

Six Facscimilies from the Εngravings Collection of The Bank of Cyprus Cultural Foundation

TEXTS BY : Ch. Hadjichristodoulou, I. Hadjicosti

This folder includes facsimiles of six original engravings by Louis-François Cassas from the
Foundation Collections. The engravings depict views of Cypriot towns: Kerynia, Larnaca,
Famagusta, Bellapais and St. Hilarion. Louis-François Cassas was a designer, engraver,
sculptor and archaeologist, who visited Cyprus twice, in February and April of 1785. Today,
the few designs of Cassas make up the first successful attempt at a figurative representa-
tion of these Cypriot monuments that have been largely celebrated by artists and writers
alike. In 1799, the edition Voyage pittoresque de la Syrie, de la Phénicie, de la Palestine et
dans la Basse Egypte came out in Paris together with the six sheets of Cassas featuring
views of Cyprus. This edition is perhaps the most important illustrated book on 18th cen-
tury Middle East and Cyprus.

A collected edition of the first ten annual lectures on the history and archaeology of
Cyprus, and an extraordinary lecture, all delivered at the Cultural Foundation between
1985 and1994. The collection of eleven texts in a single volume was deemed necessary
for two reasons. On the one hand, most of the separate editions have been sold out, and
on the other hand the present edition constitutes the scientific record of an established
institution which marked the Cultural Foundation’s first decade. This volume brings to-
gether an important collection of Cyprological essays, ranging from prehistoric times to
the 1821 Greek War of Independence.

Η Ιστορία της Ελληνικής Σημαίας

[The History of the Hellenic Flag]

AUTHOR : I. Mazarakis-Ainian

I. Mazarakis-Ainian, secretary-general of the Greek Historical and Ethnological Society,

embarks on a historical review that goes as far back as the times immediately after the
Fall of Constantinople, when a symbol of struggle becomes established through the first
demotic songs such as “The Lament of Constantinople”. The author discusses the symbols
and colours of the first flags as they evolve from the first years under Ottoman rule until
the 1821 Greek War of Independence. He presents specific flags (pennons and banners)
of the Armatoloi [Greek irregular soldiers] and the Klephts [bandits, anti-Ottoman insur-
gents], the flag of Rigas and various flags of the first post-liberation local regimes, to con-
clude with the establishment of the Greek national flag, the blue-white with the cross.

The International Role of Late Antique Cyprus

AUTHOR : G. W. Bowersock

In a lecture delivered in March 1998, Glen Warren Bowersock, professor of Ancient History
at the Princeton Institute of Advanced Study, dwells on the role of Cyprus during late an-
tiquity which to a large extent coincides with the first Christian and early Byzantine years.
Bowersock speaks of Cyprus’ relations with Alexandria, Antioch and Constantinople, the
work of Epiphanios of Constantia and Leontios of Neapolis as well as the 7th century Arab
raids and provides evidence for Cyprus’ decisive influence on the continental area of its
Mediterannean surroundings.

Cyprus Between East and West

AUTHOR : J. Boardman

In a lecture delivered in November 2000, Sir John Boardman, professor of Classical Ar-
chaeology at Oxford University and the Royal Academy of Arts, deals with the history of
Cyprus in the period between the twelfth and seventh century BC, a period characterised
by foreign influences and shifting populations. While these facts help in determining the
culture of the island, the lecture focuses on the importance of the local character and the
activities of the indigenous Cypriot population. The last part of the lecture refers to the
study of stone seals and the development of their production on the island, bearing Greek
and Phoenician influences.

[Reconstructing one of the Greatest Escapades of Hellenism: Cyprus and European

Travel Writings of the 15th–19th century]

AUTHOR : F. Tsingakou

The lecture, delivered in Nicosia in March 1999, is in fact an imaginary journey in time and
space. Through the writings of European travelers from the fifteenth to the nineteenth
century, Dr Tsingakou brings to life the island’s spatial character over the past centuries.
Drawing on excerpts from travel chronicles, the author traces historical events which have
marked the island, reconstructing a panoramic mural of the wider Hellenic area, Cyprus
especially, during the centuries of the Frankish, Ottoman and British rule.

[Early Western News Sheets on the War of Cyprus (1570 –1572)]

AUTHOR : A. Koumarianou

In a lecture delivered in May 2001, historian Aikaterini Koumarianou presented a group

of early news sheets on the Turco-Venetian war of 1570–1572 from the Bank of Cyprus
Cultural Foundation collections. These printed sheets, which disseminated news and in-
formation, were the forerunners of the newspapers that appeared in the early seven-
teenth century. They were printed in various Western towns — Venice, Florence, Verona,
Viterbo, Paris, Osma in Spain, Nuremberg — written and translated into Italian, French,
Spanish and German. These rare documents were known as avvisi, Zeitungen, occasionnels,
canards and hojas volantes and are today valuable sources for both the scholar and the
layman as they record current events in unmediated ways.

Μετά την Τουρκική Κατάκτηση του Νησιού

[From Cyprus to Venice. Cypriots at the Serenissima after the Turkish Conquest
of the Island]

AUTHOR : Ch. Maltezou

The publication deals with the history of Cypriot Hellenism in Venice and provides a com-
mentary on the relevant archival material. Many of the sources which were used for re-
search into this subject, dating from the mid sixteenth to the mid seventeenth century
approximately, are kept in the archives of the Hellenic Institute for Byzantine and Post-
Byzantine Studies in Venice. These are the codex of wills and donations, the registers of
baptisms and marriages, and the registers of the contributions of the members of the Fra-
ternity. Apart from the archival documentation in the possession of the Institute, regis-
trations of deaths of Cypriots, entered in the archives of the Church of St Antoninus in
Venice, and data from the state archives of Venice have also been taken into account. With
the help of these archival sources, Dr Chrysa Maltezou attempts to trace, on the one hand,
the resilience and adaptability shown by the Cypriots of Venice in their new living condi-
tions, and on the other hand the vitality they channeled into their new homeland.

Tα Δημοτικά Τραγούδια και οι Λαϊκοί Χοροί της Kύπρου

[Popular Songs and Dances of Cyprus]

AUTHOR : G. A. Averof
NOTE BY : S. Michaelides

In his extensive preface, G. K. Ioannides traces the development of the art of dancing from
the antiquity to the seventeenth century, placing special emphasis on the characteristics
of Cypriot popular dances. The book is a revised and augmented edition of Georgios A.
Averof’s 1978 publication entitled Cypriot Popular Dances. It includes the corpus of popular
songs and dances of Cyprus that the author learned from his father, professional popular
violinist Alexander Georgiades. It is a valuable guide for both musicologists and students
of Cypriot demotic music, as well as for popular musicians who keep the island’s musical
tradition alive.

Κώδιξ Σχoλείων Λευκωσίας

[Codex of Schools in Nicosia]

EDITED BY : Th. Papadopoullos

An important contribution to the intellectual history of Cypriot Hellenism, this edition

brings together all documents included in two 19th century educational codices. The two
codices, following parallel chronologies, span from 1859 –1892, namely the formative
years of the Modern Greek educational system which coincides with the period of Cyprus’
educational renaissance. They cover the last years of the Ottoman occupation and early
years of the British rule, just before the foundation of the Pan-Cypriot Gymnasium in 1893,
a breakthrough in the history of Cypriot education. The 465 documents deal with a wide
thematic range: correspondence, statutes etc. They document the important educational
role undertaken by the Church of Cyprus and the close spiritual relation between Cyprus
and the Greek state, as well as with various centers of the Greek Diaspora. Theodoros Pa-
padopoullos has written an extensive introductory essay, along with indexes of proper
names and pupils.

turies, it came out in English translation by Variorum in association with the Bank of Cyprus

Η Αστική Ενδυμασία της Κύπρoυ κατά τoν 18o και 19o Αιώνα
[Cypriot Urban Costume in the 18th and 19th Centuries]

AUTHOR : E. Rizopoulou-Egoumenidou

This study of the Cypriot urban costume during the last century of Ottoman occupation
compiles valuable information derived not only from extant Cypriot items of clothing,
but also from engravings, watercolours and rare or unpublished written sources — such
as the register with the dragoman Hadjigeorgakis Kornessios’ estate and other lists of the
estates of deceased persons from Nicosia and Larnaca. The wealth of illustrations included
in this edition aptly complements the scientific research conclusions. “Cypriot Urban Cos-
tume in the 18th and 19th Centuries” is an important contribution to the preservation of
memories and traditions and the study of the modern cultural heritage of Cyprus which
since 1974 has become identical with the struggle for national survival.

well-known writer Giorgos Filippou Pierides, research undertaken by her daughter, Marina
Hadjikakou, and various bibliographical sources. Detailed bibliographical lists cover Pieri-

Chorograffia (volume 1)
Description de Toute l'Isle de Cypre (volume 2)

AUTHOR : E. Lusignan
EDITED BY : Th. Papadopoullos

A summary of the two historical works of Stephen Lusignan in the “Cypriology Library”
completes the historiographical trilogy of the period, which has been described as a Cypri-
ot renaissance of letters. The other two parts of this trilogy, the Historia of Florio Bustron
and the Cronaca of Francesco Amadi have been included in volumes 8 and 9 of the same
series. Professor Gilles Grivaud notes in his introduction that the substantive contribution
of Stephen Lusignan to Cypriot historiography lies in his two most basic works: the Choro-
graffia and its augmented French translation, that is, the Description, published with a
view to the sensitization of the public opinion in Europe immediately after the conquest
of the island by the Ottomans in 1571 and the efforts to collect the necessary sum for the
redemption of Cypriots captured by the Turks. The five-year-period which separates the
publication of the two texts provided Stephen Lusignan with ample time to deepen his
thinking and correct his earlier errors, so much so the Description has all the characteristics
of a patient work of maturity.

proceeds to examine in detail. Included in the first group are 24 anthropomorphic vessels
and in the second 28 vessels of various shapes with appliqué decoration.

Art Antique de Chypre

Du Bronze moyen à l’époque byzantine au Cabinet des Médailles

TEXTS BY : V. Karageorghis, O. Masson

The exhibition of the Foundation’s coin collection at the Cabinet des Médailles of the Na-
tional Library of France in 1994 coincided with the display of 72 works of ancient Cypriot
art ranging from the middle Bronze Age to the 7th century AD from the permanent col-
lection housed in the National Library of France. The catalogue of this supplementary ex-
hibition enabled French specialists to present important Cypriot works of art and gave
visitors the opportunity to discover ancient Cypriot art and its development over the cen-
turies. The edition is prefaced by the then chairman of the National Library of France Jean
Favier, eminent numismatist Michel Amandry and the chairman of the Cultural Founda-
tion Andreas Patsalides. In the introductory texts by two leading specialists in Cypriot ar-
chaeology, Vassos Karageorghis gives a survey of contemporary Cypriot archaeology and
Olivier Masson, Director of Studies at the École Pratique des Hautes Études, deals with
the history of the Cypriot collection at the Cabinet des Médailles.

TEXTS BY : D. Gangades, I. Voyiatzis

An illustrated, well-documented work on Greek jewellery, supplement to the homony-

mous exhibition held in Nicosia in March – April 1995. The folio provides an eloquent tes-
tament of Cyprus’ agelong bonds to metropolitan Greece. The items of jewellery present-
ed here from the collections of the National Historical Museum of Athens were part of
the local traditional Greek costumes during the Ottoman period. They cover an area ex-
tending from the Black Sea and Macedonia to Crete and Cyprus. Illustrations of jewellery
reveal the rare art of microtechnia and the shared artistic spirit that permeates silver and
goldwork in every focal point of Hellenism.

Α Photographic Record of Cyprus by Manuel Baud-Bovy and Aristea Tzanou

Un témoignage photographique de Chypre par Manuel Baud-Bovy et Aristea Tzanou

EDITED BY : L. Michaelidou

This trilingual edition was published by the Bank of Cyprus Cultural Foundation on the
occasion of the homonymous exhibition “1962. Α Photographic Record of Cyprus by
Manuel Baud-Bovy and Aristea Tzanou” (November 2008 – February 2009). Immediately
after the establishment of the Republic of Cyprus in 1960, the French Ministry of Foreign
Affairs offered to assist the newly founded Republic. In consultation with the Government
of Cyprus, they deemed that a study on the development and prospects of tourism on
the island would be of great benefit. Eugène Beaudouin was the architect designated in
charge of the study. Beaudouin then appointed two young architects, his former students,
to carry out the mission: Swiss architect Manuel Baud-Bovy, head of the research team,
and Greek architect Aristea Tzanou. The publication includes photographs and introduc-
tory texts in Greek, English and French. The photographs were selected by Manuel Baud-
Bovy, Aristea Tzanou and Andreas Philippou.

110 Στιγμές στην Ιστορία μας

110 Moments in our History

PRODUCTION : Hypermedia
EDITED BY : Ch. Hadjichristodoulou, L. Michaelidou

The DVD was prepared on the occasion of the exhibition “110 Moments in our History”
(May – December 2009) which, as the symbolic title suggests, was held in celebration of
110 years from the establishment of the Bank of Cyprus.

The DVD presents a chronicle of the main milestones in the history of 110 years of the
Bank of Cyprus along with important historical events in the period under review. It also
tells the stories of six humble Cypriots, each of whom achieved success after daring to
take on real challenges: Theophila Hadjiantoni, Michael Kkashialos, Persefoni Pa-
padopolou, Antonios Theodotou, Pavlos Liasides and Stavros Tziortzis. These stories are
presented in tandem with complementary stories that bring to life significant and pio-
neering moments in the history of the cities of Cyprus.

Η Ιερά Μονή της Παναγίας του Άρακα στα Λαγουδερά

The Holy Monastery of our Lady of Arakas in Lagoudera

EDITED BY : Ch. Hadjichristodoulou

The Holy Monastery of our Lady of Arakas lies to the north west of the village of Lagoud-
era. The monastery’s nave was presumably built toward the end of the 12th century, in
the form of a single-aisled vaulted structure. A second wooden roof, covered with flat
tiles, was later added to protect the church from adverse weather conditions. The nave
was decorated in 1192 with frescoes of exquisite mastery, of late Comnenian style, attrib-
uted to Theodoros Apsevdis, the same artist who painted in 1183 the Engleistra (place of
seclusion) of Ayios Neophytos in Paphos. Fourteenth and seventeenth century frescoes
have also been salvaged. The wooden carved iconostasis dates back to 1763. To the north
of the church lies the two storey building of the monastery, consisting of a row of cells
with an open balcony at the forefront, supported on wooden poles.

Cypriot Artists

The “Cypriot Artists” series of the Bank of Cyprus Cultural

Foundation was launched in 1991. So far, it includes publi-
cations on the first generation of Cypriot artists who led the
evolution of Cypriot painting from a declining Byzantine, re-
ligious and popular technique to a more artful and freely
expressive period during the early decades of the 20th cen-
tury. Employing well-documented texts and a wealth of
photographic material on the works of our great painters,
the series aspires to fill a significant gap in the relevant bib-
liography.

O Κόσμoς της Κύπρoυ. Αφήγηση

[The World of Cyprus. Narrative]

AUTHOR : A. Diamantis

A reprint of A. Diamantis’ Αφήγηση (Narrative), first published in 1975 by the Cultural Com-
mittee of the Municipality of Nicosia. In this 1974 text, the artist describes in detail the
conception and creation of his monumental painting “The World of Cyprus” (1967–1972),
dedicated to poet G. Seferis. Written in a lively style, the narrative includes notes from the
artist’s diary, as well as information on the materials, the technique and the consecutive
phases of his work. Despite the extremely difficult conditions in which the work was com-
pleted, A. Diamantis’ ultimate message is one of optimism: “‘The World of Cyprus’ serves
as a foundation for the Castle of new life”.

Ioannis Kissonerghis (1889 –1963)

AUTHORS : A. Stratoura et al.

The first illustrated volume in the series “Cypriot artists” introduces one of the pioneers of
Cypriot academic painting during British rule. Inspired by the notional art of Lytras and
Gyzis, Kissonerghis’ (1889–1963) paintings had a uniform subject matter for half a century:
scenes from everyday life, buildings, landscapes and historic sites. He was the first to de-
pict contemporary Cyprus in his work, thus setting the foundations of modern Cypriot
art. Also of interest is his artistic testimony of a less well-known place of Greek diaspora,
South Africa, where he settled in 1953 and lived until his death, ten years later, without
ever returning to Cyprus. This publication was made possible owing to the contribution
of the heirs of Kissonerghis’ intellectual work who came forward with watercolours, per-
sonal documents, notebooks and photographs of the great artist.

AUTHOR : E. S. Nikita

The second volume in the series of great Cypriot artists of the twentieth century is dedi-
cated to the monumental work of painter Adamantios Diamantis (1900–1994), an avant-
garde artist in modern Cypriot art. The result of many years of painstaking research by
Eleni S. Nikita, this volume allows us to enjoy Diamantis’ works whilst providing useful bi-
ographical and bibliographical information, as well as a well-documented analysis of his
work and significant contribution to modern Cypriot painting. E. Nikita notes: “Though
choosing to nurture his painting with nothing else but local material, his art never became
neither ethnographic nor descriptive”.

In the third publication of this series, Niki Loizidi testifies in her critical appraisal of this
major Cypriot artist that it was through Georghiou that Cyprus revealed itself to her. “An
authentic and very generous interpretation of the people, nature and culture of Cyprus.”
Georghiou’s work is amply illustrated in this edition wherein the reader can visually touch
the artist’s creations. The edition is supplemented by rare photographic testimonies of
Cyprus by Reno Wideson, a lifelong friend and inspirator of the artist. The friendship be-
tween the two men was extremely productive as they were a constant source of inspira-
tion for each other.

The sixth volume in the series “Cypriot Artists” is dedicated to Solomos Frangoulides. Fran-
goulides belongs to the first generation of Cypriot artists, who led the evolution of Cypriot
painting from a declining Byzantine, religious and popular technique to a more artful and
freely expressive period during the early decades of the 20th century. Solomos Fran-
goulides spent his whole life striving, consistently and honestly, to combine his great love
for art with the need to make a living. Nevertheless, he took part in all major struggles of
his time for social justice, equality and freedom. His work, low-profile and composed, with-
out impressive outbreaks and innovations, was rooted in the reality of his times and
marked his own contribution to the shaping of the new face of Cypriot painting.

century through to the Interwar Period, is supplemented through the presentation of
photographic material, documents and their personal belongings. In his preface, Andreas
Christophides notes that Michaelides and Lipertis unleashed their talent in poetry when
they abandoned attempts at using the katharevousa [purifying language] and returned
to the Cypriot idiom. The publication was launched to coincide with the exhibition of the
poets’ memorabilia, organised by the Educational Department and the Bank of Cyprus
Cultural Foundation in commemoration of seventy years from the death of Michaelides
and fifty years from the death of Lipertis.

[Seferis’ Cypriot Letters (1954 –1962): From his Correspondence with G.P. Savidis]

LITERARY EDITING BY: K. Κostiou

MANAGING EDITOR : M. Mitsou

The twenty-three letters G. Seferis wrote to G. P. Savidis (1929–1995) during the years
marked by the struggle against British rule illuminate the historical and ideological frame-
work within which the poet wrote his collection of poems entitled “... Κύπρov, oύ μ’ εθέ-
σπισεv”. These letters contribute to a wider understanding of the poet’s commitment to
the cause of Cypriot Hellenism. His close affinities with the Cyprus Question and his un-
conditional trust in the young philologist — to whom he assigned in 1955 the editing of
his Cypriot collection — provided the ideal conditions for the development of a fertile di-
alogue about Cyprus. The letters cover the period during which Seferis’ experiences of
Cyprus underwent a poetic transformation and close in 1961 with the publication of an
honorary volume on his work.

LITERARY EDITING BY :

MANAGING EDITOR : M. Mitsou

The adventurous life of Epameinondas Frangoudis (1825 –1897) reflects the trials and
tribulations of Hellenism in the nineteenth century. The prominent Cypriot writer studied
at the Ionian Academy in Corfu, published his romantic novel Thersandros in Athens (1847)
and was employed first as secretary of the Greek subconsulate in Larnaca and then as di-
rector of the Greek School in Nicosia (1853). Accused of seditious activities, he was forced
to leave for Constantinople, where he launched the publication of the journal “Thelxinoe”.
He was finally appointed professor of Greek literature in Bucharest. Travels in Montenegro
was published in “Thelxinoe” (1856 –1857) under the title “Travels” and is a unique testi-
mony to an era and an area which today has again been drawn into the public limelight.
It is illustrated with drawings by the author and other contemporary engravings.

of Cyprus Cultural Foundation. As the author tells us: “There are many arias. They are
pieces of music. There is also the “aries”. It’s a bushy tree, suitable for lining avenues. But
there’s only one Aria who is a girl. She lives on the island of Aphrodite and has a friend on
the Internet called Jimmy. Aria has a lot of worries. There’s her extra weight. There’s school.
There are her parents who get on her nerves. But more than that, there’s her strange name.
Yet, what kind of surprises does her unique name have in store for her?” Suitable for chil-
dren of elementary school age.

Environment

The tremendous wealth of biological diversity resulting

from Cyprus’ insular nature and complex geological struc-
ture brings forth the need to protect our environment. The
Bank of Cyprus Cultural Foundation has always shown great
interest in the environment and expressed it in practical
ways: in fact, it ranks among the pioneers in environmental
protection in Cyprus.

Launched in 1995, the “Environment” series includes publi-

cations and audiovisual productions on the fauna and flora
of Cyprus.

The Endemic Plants of Cyprus

TEXTS BY : Ch. Tsintides

PHOTOGRAPHY BY : L. Kourtellarides

This book fills a significant gap, the absence of Greek bibliography on Cypriot flora. A
short text introduces the reader to the natural habitats of Cypriot flora followed by a de-
tailed presentation of 128 endemic plants. Each entry includes the plant’s botanical and
common names, a short description, its natural habitat, degree of rarity or abundance,
etc. This study of endemic Cypriot flora has led to significant conclusions, i.e. that some
rare plant species are threatened with extinction. A book aimed at specialists and all those
who take an interest in nature and the environment alike.

Bonelli’s Eagle or Perdikoshiahino is the only eagle that nests, albeit in small numbers, in
the mountainous regions of Cyprus. It is one of the rarest and most impressive birds of
the Cyprus avifauna; unfamiliar to many, it lives and reproduces far from human eyes in
remote and secluded regions. The documentary follows the eagle through the different
stages of its life in the boundless Cyprus forests.

The Griffon Vulture

TEXT & CINEMATOGRAPHY BY : L. Christophorou

This documentary offers a comprehensive overview of the life of this bird whose numbers
have unfortunately decreased dramatically in recent years. The griffon vulture — also
known as “dustman of the countryside” — was once a popular vulture that lived in thou-
sands on our island. Its current population is at a critical turning point, close to extinction.
It will take a tremendous effort to reverse the situation given that the wild population is
now reduced to no more than 20 vultures.

Τρόοδος… και Εγένετο Κύπρος

[Troodos… and then there was Cyprus]

DIRECTED BY : P. Papapetrou
TEXTS BY : G. Constantinou, I. Panagides

Viewed as a miracle of nature, the birth and emergence of both Troodos and Cyprus is
considered wondrous from the perspectives of geological sciences, history and myth. Ow-
ing to its distinctive features, such as the impressive terrain, diversity of its microclimates,
the rich and diverse flora and the surrounding sea, the island has become a synonym for
natural beauty and fertility, justly identified with Aphrodite, the goddess of love and re-
production. These special features, combined with the wealth of its mineral and water re-
sources, have created an extraordinary habitat for man and laid the foundations for ten
thousand years of art and civilisation.

H Γεωλογία της Κύπρου

[The Geology of Cyprus]

AUTHORS : G. Constantinou, I. Panagides

The book explores the role of geology in shaping the natural environment of Cyprus
which has undeniably defined its historical and cultural evolution. Its geographical posi-
tion, natural beauty, singular climatic conditions but above all the extensive exploitation
of its wealth of natural resources have also played a vital role in the island’s historical de-
velopment. Natural resources include minerals, mostly of copper origin, extensive and re-
newable forests and water. These resources have for the most part originated in the Troo-
dos mountain range and are linked with its geological evolution. The island was created
as a result of a sequence of unique and complex geological processes which lasted a few
tenths of millions of years. The peak of the Troodos mountain range, pine covered and
rich in flora, was formed by submarine volcanic action in the depths of a great ancient
ocean, known as the Tethys sea, some 90 million years ago, and later emerged 2000 me-
ters above sea level.

Guides to Archaeological Sites and Monuments

Launched in 1987, the “Guides to Archaeological Sites and

Monuments” series encompasses eight Guides, published
with the consent of the Cyprus Department of Antiquities.
All texts have been written by the site’s excavator/researcher.

The Cultural Foundation has undertaken to publish the

Guides with the understanding that net proceeds of the
sales will be ceded to the Department of Antiquities, to be
used for the conservation and restoration of monuments.
Eight Guides have been published to date in various lan-
guages. 385.000 copies have already yielded a net profit of
€1.230.000.

These Guides are meant for travelers and young researchers

looking for an introduction to the history and archaeology
of Cyprus as well as high school students in need of a con-
cise, easy-to-use edition allowing them an insight into the
historical and cultural development of composite and com-
plex archaeological sites.

A Guide to Kourion

TEXTS , ILLUSTRATIONS BY : The Department of Antiquities of Cyprus

SERIES EDITOR : Μ. Iacovou

Located at the Episkopi bay on the south-eastern part of the island, Kourion is ranked
among the most significant archaeological sites in Cyprus. The Guide to Kourion includes
a concise history of the settlement from the Neolithic period to the sixteenth century, an
account of the excavations conducted on the site (from 1873 onwards) and a detailed de-
scription of the remains. Kourion is one of the sites where the Achaeans settled in the thir-
teenth century BC, and where subsequently one of the Cypriot city-kingdoms flourished
until their dissolution by Ptolemy I (312 –310 BC). The site retained its importance under
the Ptolemies and the Romans; its major monuments date from the Hellenistic, Roman
and Early Christian periods (aqueduct, Nymphaeum, agora, theatre, stadium, the building
of the Achilles mosaic, the house of the Gladiators, the Early Christian basilica, the house
of Eustolios etc).

Guide to the Paphos Mosaics

TEXTS BY :W. A. Daszewski, D. Michaelides

ILLUSTRATIONS BY : The Department of Antiquities of Cyprus
SERIES EDITOR : Μ. Iacovou

Nea Paphos was founded at the end of the 4th century BC by the last king of Palaipaphos,
Nicocles. When Cyprus came under the Ptolemies the city emerged as an important ad-
ministrative and economic centre. After the annexation of the island by the Romans, in
58 BC, Nea Paphos remained its capital until the fourth century AD, when the Romans
transferred the seat of their administration to Salamis. Remains from the Roman period
include luxurious villas with superb mosaic floors, the most beautiful of all mosaics found
on the island. After a brief history of Nea Paphos from the end of the 4th century to the
Ottoman period, the guide provides detailed descriptions of the House of Dionysus, the
House of Orpheus, the Villa of Theseus and the House of Aion. Also included are an analy-
sis of the mosaics and a brief account of the excavations conducted on the site. Mosaics
in their entirety are inscribed in the UNESCO World Heritage list.

The Dragoman’s two story stone mansion, built in the late 18th century in the old town
of Nicosia, not far from the Archbishopric, is the most important specimen of Cypriot ur-
ban architecture during the last century of Ottoman occupation (1779 –1878). A unique
monument of modern cultural heritage owing to its distinctive architecture combined
with its elaborately painted interior décor, the building operates today as a museum. Its
large ground hall and the yard particularly lend themselves to exhibitions, lectures and
various cultural events. The guide to this unique monument provides a detailed architec-
tural description of the mansion, a historical analysis of the Ottoman office of the Drago-
man, a biographical note on Hadjigeorgakis Kornessios, as well as an account of the his-
tory of the mansion and the family who owned it. The guide is amply illustrated with
photographs of the exterior and interior of the building, objects inside the mansion, as
well as historical documents.

area from 1936 to 1946. The excavations were resumed in 1977 by the French archaeo-
logical expedition under Alain Le Brun. The first part of the guide includes the history of
the research conducted on the site, a detailed description of the houses, the architecture,
the materials and building techniques used, their interior arrangement and position of
tools and utensils, the funeral rites and the economy of the inhabitants. In the second
part, A. Le Brun suggests an exemplar guided tour to the archaeological site. In the Ap-
pendix, Sophocles Hadjisavvas, Curator of Monuments, presents the Khirokitia Archaeo-
logical Park, a work of the Department of Antiquities of Cyprus featuring identical repro-
ductions of parts of the city wall and five houses, all built with the same materials and
techniques employed in the prehistoric settlement. The site is inscribed in the UNESCO

SERIES EDITOR : Μ. Iacovou

A multidisciplinary research project was conceived by Ian A. Todd in 1975, aimed at study-
ing the housing system of the valley from the Early Neolithic to the end of the Medieval
period. The project was initiated by excavations in the Kalavassos area in 1976 and is still
in progress. The guide deals with the architectural remains and archaeological finds of the
Neolithic settlement of Tenta, in the vicinity of Kalavassos, a site mentioned on Kitchener’s
map of Cyprus from as far back as 1882. The prehistoric sites of Kalavassos-Tenta and Khi-
rokitia belong to the Aceramic Neolithic and share common features in that they were
surrounded by walls and had mudbrick and/or stone circular domestic structures. The
guide includes chapters on the Neolithic and Chalcolithic periods in Cyprus, on the Ace-
ramic Neolithic Period in the Vasilikos Valley, as well as on the Bronze Age in the same area.

SERIES EDITOR : Μ. Iacovou

The guide introduces two important prehistoric settlements of the Chalcolithic period re-
cently discovered near the Lemba and Kissonerga villages in western Cyprus, north of Pa-
phos. Excavations began in 1976 under Professor Edgar Peltenburg of Edinburgh Univer-
sity. In 1987 the University’s Lemba Archaeological Project created the Experimental Village
of Lemba, the first applied project of experimental archaeology not just in Cyprus but in
the entire Eastern Mediterranean area. The guide provides a detailed presentation of the
two sites and their significant finds: circular buildings, graves and grave goods, objects of
daily life alongside unique specimens of sculpture and pottery. A tour around the Lemba
Experimental Village allows the visitor an insight into multiple aspects of the Chalcolithic
culture in Cyprus.

TEXTS BY : P. Aupert et al.

SERIES EDITOR : Μ. Iacovou

The guide is a concise presentation of everything learned through historical surveys and
terrestrial or underwater excavations as well as the testimony afforded by means of in-
scriptions and coins in tandem with geophysical, geographical and hydrological research
projects. A presentation of the city’s geographical position is followed by a historical ac-
count of excavations dating back to the years of the Frankish rule (1191 –1489) and the
History of the city and kingdom from the Neolithic (circa 8000 BC) to the Byzantine period
(7th century AD). Salvaged specimens of sculpture, terracottas, pottery, jewelry, utilitarian
and religious objects provide evidence for this historical course. A description of the city
ruins is complemented by outlines and representations. The edition is amply illustrated
with photographs and old engravings.

PLANS , ILLUSTRATIONS BY :D. Myrianthefs
SERIES EDITOR : Ch. Hadjichristodoulou

The church of our Lady of Asinou is the sole remnant of the Monastery of Forvii, founded

Aναδρομή στα Πριγκηπόνησα

Τhe Princess Islands. A Retrospective Journey

AUTHOR : A. Millas

This publication provides for the first time an overall review of the hitherto unknown his-
tory of these islands, while a record of the last two centuries is given by means of the rich
photographic material. The Princess islands lie scattered between Europe and Asia on the
north-eastern side of the Propontis, indissolubly bound up by the ancient Greeks with
the myth of the expedition of the Argonauts. The Princess islands were to acquire great
significance and importance in the time of the Byzantine Empire. But even after the Fall
of Constantinople, the conquerors respected and tolerated the religion, the language,
the manners and customs of the Greeks, so that throughout the Ottoman rule of Greek
lands, these islands provided a shelter for Greek refugees. During the first decade of the
nineteenth century, Phanariot Greeks and members of the Philiki Etaireia were made wel-
come in the monasteries and their dependencies, to discuss in safety details of the na-
tional uprising. The shedding of the Greek element began in effect in 1910 and reached
its culmination in 1980 with the flow of migration chiefly from the Black Sea regions and
of Kurds, a movement which altered the physiognomy of the region dramatically.

Smyrna
Metropolis of the Asia Minor Greeks

AUTHORS : P. M. Kitromilides et al.

Smyrna, a cosmopolitan city with a large and prosperous Greek community, is presented
symbolically as representing all the Greeks of Asia Minor, whose metropolis it was. The
original pictorial material used in this publication consists mainly of postcards, but also
photographs from important historical archives. The cards have been selected from a rich
collection of the well known Greek collector Spyros Manousakis and indeed this may be
the first time they have all been published together. Thus the reader can find a virtually
complete picture of the Ionian capital, since most of the individual pieces in the mosaic
are presented in these pages. In addition, a picture is provided of present-day Smyrna,
with photographs taken especially for this publication.

The author embarks on a contemporary itinerary by means of photography in those coun-

events (battles, founding of cities, crossing of rivers, diplomatic arrangements, etc.), atten-
tion is placed on the archaeological sites which have survived down to the present, as
well as finds in smaller and larger museums, such as those of New Delhi, Calcutta, Tashkent,
Bukhara, Islamabad, Kabul, Baghdad, and, naturally, Alexandria, Cairo, Beirut, and Con-
stantinople. There is also an extensive account of the myth which supplied the folk muse
with material in the countries through which Alexander passed, justifying the title of “the
absolute conqueror”.

[The Harmonisation of the Cypriot Economy with the European Union]

EDITED BY : P. Pashiardis

In May 1995, the European Services Unit of the Bank of Cyprus and the Economic Depart-
ment of the University of Cyprus organised jointly a symposium entitled “The Harmoni-
sation of the Cypriot Economy with the European Union”. Participants included well-
known academics, members of the Cypriot government and the late member of the
European Parliament Y. Kranidiotis. Having acknowledged the importance of timely and
efficient preparation in view of our country’s accession to the European Union, the Bank
of Cyprus — the largest banking group in Cyprus — took it upon itself to launch and sup-
port relevant initiatives, thus sponsoring the publication of the symposium’s proceedings.
The publication coincided with the symposium’s follow-up in Athens, held on 21–22 No-
vember 1996, under the title “Cyprus, European Union and the role of Greece”.

O Edmond Duthoit και η Kύπρος

Along the Most Beautiful Path in the World

Edmond Duthoit and Cyprus

AUTHORS : R. K. Severis, L. Bonato, A. Gautier

This richly illustrated edition was prepared by the Bank of Cyprus Group on the occasion
of the homonymous exhibition held in Nicosia and London in 1999. The volume presents
for the first time the sketches and watercolours which the French architect and artist Ed-
mond Duthoit made during his travels to Cyprus in 1862 and 1865. Duthoit was sent to
Cyprus by a distinguished historian, the marquis de Vogue, carrying orders to explore the
island, excavate and collect archaeological finds. His sketches and watercolours offer a
panorama of Cyprus in the nineteenth century: people, villages and towns, archaeological
sites and Gothic monuments, churches and mosques. Many of these sketches are accom-
panied by contemporary photographs of the same sites.

Μάνδρες
[Mandres]

AUTHOR : Y. Kypri

A collection of twenty poems named after the Turkish-occupied village of Yiannis Kypri.
The collection presents memories and images of Cyprus before 1974 and the hospitable
village of Mandres with its dignified, noble inhabitants, in the hope that it will rekindle
the memory before oblivion takes over.

Byzantine Architecture in the Troodos Mountains

Τhrough Drawings, Sketches and Watercolours

AUTHOR : A. Philippou

The album aims to present the wealth of Byzantine architecture demarcating churches
in the Troodos mountains and stir the interest for their protection, study and promotion.
It consists of watercolours and sketches of wooden-roofed churches in the Troodos area.
The roofs of Cypriot churches are singular in that they are perfectly adapted to their sur-
rounding environment and have for many centuries remained intact despite their simple
design.

Τεπάρισσος
[Teparissos]

AUTHOR : Y. Kypri

In his preface, Yiannis Kypri mentions that this publication is dedicated to Teparissos, the
huge cypress that rises next to the monastery of Our Lady of Tohniou, near the author’s
birthplace, the occupied village of Mandres in Famagousta. The first part of the publica-
tion includes twenty-three poems, three of which are metrical poems written in the Cypri-
ot dialect. The second part entitled “Pain which cannot forget” is dedicated, same as the
entire work, to the memory of Phoebos Karayiannis and Yiannis Adamou Karayianni, the
uncle and cousin of the author, missing since 1974, whose remains were located in a mass
grave in the occupied areas.
