AN UNPUBLISHED DOCUMENT ABOUT THE GREEK
REYOLUTION OF 1821
KONSTANTINOS K. HATZOPOULOS (Thessaloniki)
During our researches in the National Library of Athens and in the “Ioannis Philimon Arehive” we found an unpublished letter written by the well known Greek revolutionary Emmanouil Xanthos. The letter, which has now the registration number A9143, has been found among the last documents of the “Ioannis Philimon Archive” and it was written and signed by Em. Xanthos himself on the lOth of October 1821 in the Italian town Ancona.
The letter was written on eight sheets of paper used on both sides except for the last one, where only the first page was madę use of. The state of preservation is somehow bad, because the letter was folded in four and the sixth sheet of paper is the most damaged as it is torn into two.
Last but not least, the paper used is ordinary paper for correspon-dence of German origin of 0.212 and 0.261 m.
THE RECEIYER
As we have already pointed out at the beginning of this study, the letter in ąuestion was sent from the Italian town Ancona, where Em. Xanthos settled for a while after his departure from Bessarabia on the 26th of June 1821, on his way to Greece1.
But, while the author of the letter, the place and the datę of sending are known, the receiver is unknown, because his name is not mentioned in any part of the letter. Herefrom rises the problem of the receiver’s identity, which we are going to deal with further on.
At a first reading we have noticed that on the last page, the blank one, there is in the right upper corner a notę, which was certainly madę by another person than the author, because the handwriting is not the same. The unknown commentator wrote: “1821. Em. Xanthos, documents regarding the ąuarrel between Anagnostopoulos and Xanthos 2 and Tsakalof’s letters etc.”
