Aik Foundation Laskaridis: Conference entitled “Archetypes in Greek libraries: Recording, documentation, historical context”

The Aikaterinis Laskaridis Foundation organizes the conference “Archetypes in Greek libraries: Recording, documentation, historical context”the Friday 17 and Saturday 18 March 2023in Historical Library of the Foundation, 2nd Division 36 & Moutsopoulos Beach in Piraeus.

The subject of the conference is the archetypes of Greek libraries, the printed books that have reached our days since the dawn of printing, in the 15th century. Over 550 copies found today in Greek public, municipal, university, monastic, private libraries.

As a follow-up to the conference organized by the Foundation in April 2019, on the topic of the archetypes of the Athenian libraries, the conference now focuses on the library copies of the rest of the country, which were recorded by its team of the Ekaterini Laskaridis Foundation on an international basis Material Evidence in Incunabula The space 2019-2022. After 4 years of travels, the new electronic website-application of the Foundation that collects the total data from the libraries of all Greece will also be presented.

The aim of the organizers is for the conference to be an occasion for a meeting and dialogue between scientists, researchers and professionals from the field of books and libraries, from Greece and abroad, on the occasion of the study of archetype editions and especially their material testimonies. With this in mind, the conference program is developed around three main themes:

• Presentations of digital tools and databases that contribute to the study of archetypes and archetypes.
• Case studies of archetypes preserved today in Greek libraries, and their historical path. The section also includes examples of the program’s expansion prospects, both in Greece and in its neighboring countries.
• Speeches of wider historical interest on the occasion of the archetypes of Greek libraries: for the circulation and use of printed books (and especially the archetypes) in the Greek area, for the production of printed editions addressed either to the Greek-speaking public or to scholars interested in Greek, for the existence of private and institutional libraries that also included archetypes, which are now lost.

The conference is framed by the exhibition “Greek literature in early typography”, with archetypal publications of Greek interest, as well as selected early Aristotelian publications. The copies come from the rich collection of the Aikaterini Laskaridis Foundation (Bibliotheca Graeca Collection of S. Economopoulos, P. Laskaridis Collection). Visitors will have the opportunity to browse the exhibition during breaks in the conference proceedings.

The opening of the exhibition will be performed by the President of the Republic Katerina Sakellaropoulouon Friday March 17, the first day of the conference.
