Scope and Contents

Consists of a handwritten newspaper by Hippokratēs Porphyrios, student of the Hippokrateio High School in Kōs (Greece), dedicated to the Greek War of Independence, accompanied by an additional double leaf issue "Deltion Prostheton." Newspaper contains biographical notes of the Greek heroes Theodōros Kolokotrōnēs and Geōrgios Karaiskakēs with two attached images of their portraits, the text of the first official announcement of the Greek Revolution to the English Consul Green, poems and more. Of particular interest, however, are the personal testimonies of the young student Hippokratēs regarding the state of fear that prevailed and prevented the people of Kōs from decorating their metropolis with laurels during the vespers of the feast of the Annunciation, as was customary. Also, the Archimandrite was not allowed by the police to give a speech on March 25, 1931. Porphyrios expresses his resistance against the Italians and in his closing paragraph of the "Deltion Prostheton", he wishes to the people of Dodecanese to celebrate as free people the national day next year.

Newspaper consists of three unbound double leaves, 27 x 21 cm. (missing the double leaves 1-2 and 15-16); title on page 3. The additional issue "Deltion Prostheton" is also written on March 25, 1931 in Kōs (27 x 21 cm) and has three attached images. Included also is a zerox copy of a clipping of the Greek newspaper "To Vēma" with an article about the student newspapers in Kōs during the Italian occupation with a detailed mention about Porhyrios' newspaper.
