KYPION ONOMATON

(The "O's" look like OMEGA symbols)

PUBLISHED IN 1837. Written by Constantine Garbola. A book seller has kindly submitted the following information: There was a lot of Greek printing in Vienna from the end of the 18th century to the 1840's, due to a large and partly rich Greek community there. But this slowly came to an end after the establishment of the modern Greek State in 1828-1832, when printing was allowed in Greece. (Prior to those years printing was suppressed by the Turk rulers.)

The inside cover is UNIQUELY inscribed, it looks to be in French and the inscription is dated 1919. There are mystic type doodles on the inside of the back cover and end pages. I am not a book expert so please ask questions. The photo's do the describing.

I'm told this is a 174 YEAR OLD TOMB ON GREEK MYTHOLOGY: like a dictionary it details all the greek gods, goddesses, characters, etc. Their history and geography. It is written in greek.

One of this age is listed in the Research Library of Cambridge University in the UK.

My keyboard does not have the Greek characters to properly type this out. You will have to study the photo's. Any expert advice would be appreciated.

Please make an offer if you are interested.
