Σε σας που δκιαφεντεύκετε την προκοπήν, τα γράμματα,
Σε τζ’είνους που την ορφανιάν τζιαι την σ’ηρκάν πονούσιν,
Σ’ όπκοιους ταβρούν πομούσουρα του τόπου, λήτες, κλάματα,
Σ’ όσους την φτώσ’ειαν, την τιμήν στιμνιάζουν τζι αγαπούσιν
Τα φτωσ’ικά τραούδκια μου, την αρκοντιάν μου δκιώ τους,
Μες στο πισσούριν εν του φού το χάραμαν χαρώ τους.Δ. Θ. Λιπέρτης

Handbook of the Cesnola Collection of Antiquities from Cyprus
€ 80.00HANDBOOK OF
THE CESNOLA COLLECTION
OF ANTIQUITIES FROM
CYPRUS
BY
JOHN L. MYRES
WYKEHAM PROFESSOR OF ANCIENT HISTORY
IN THE UNIVERSITY OF OXFORDPREFACE
THIS Handbook is intended to serve as a guide to the
Cesnola Collection of Antiquities from Cyprus, or more
precisely to those parts of it which are exhibited in the
Cesnola Room and other departments of The Metropolitan
Museum of Art. It offers at the same time an introduction to the
study of the ancient arts and industries which the Cesnola Collec-
tion was formed to illustrate. But it is not in the strict sense a
Catalogue of the Collection, though all the more important objects
are described separately; for many of less individual interest are
treated summarily and in groups, and the large ‘ student series,’
which is held in reserve, is not included at all. Nor is it a formal
textbook of Cypriote archaeology; since it makes reference to ob-
jects in other collections only when these directly illustrate some-
thing which is exhibited here, and it gives only the most essential
references to the literature. Those who wish to pursue the study
further are referred to the Selected Bibliography (p. xliii), and to the
exhaustive bibliographical works included in it. Above all, they
are invited to study the Collection carefully for themselves, in the
light of these outlines, and of their own common sense. Those who
have the means, or the opportunity, will remember also that there
is still much to be discovered in Cyprus itself, by any one who has
skill and zeal. -
Cyprus: A Short Account of Its History and Present State by A.O. Green
€ 600.00PREFACE
Being so fully occupied at present with work in connection with the Great European War, I have not the time to write a worthy preface to this remarkably interesting book, but i warmly commend my good friend Colonel Green’s delightful narrative and description as a notable contribution to the literature of the fascinating Island of Cyprus, so little known to average Briton of to-day. As a firm believer in British-Israel truth, I especially ask all the Anglo-Israelites and students of history and geography to carefully study these pages, and I venture to suggest that the Appendix should be read first.
This book will take no mean place among the nearly 900 volumes which have been written on this charming Island of the Mediterranean, and which form an extraordinary and unique collection in our Royal Colonial Institute Library,

The Mythology of Cyprus
€ 12.00Written by the celebrated Cypriot artist Stass Paraskos, The Mythology of Cyprus is an immensely readable and truly entertaining journey through the pagan world of ancient Cyprus, when the island really was the Land of Aphrodite, goddess of love.
First published in 1981, and now republished with a new introduction by Dr Michael Paraskos of Imperial College London, the book was a pioneering exploration of the way ancient Greek mythology was understood in a regional location such as Cyprus.
As Dr Paraskos explains in his new introduction, the book was written at a time when few academics bothered to pay much attention to Cyprus, and many Cypriots themselves preferred to see their island’s history and culture as no more than an extension of Greece or Turkey, rather than a unique phenomenon in its own right.
The publication of this book in 1981 set down a challenge to those narratives, presenting for the first time a uniquely Cypriot view of ancient Greek mythology ad folklore, written by a Cypriot.
With special excursions into surviving influences of pagan belief and practise in modern Cyprus, and a fictionalised journey around pre-Christian Cyprus in the company of a character named Bronteas, The Mythology of Cyprus is joy to read.
