Μανόλης Τραινταφυλλίδης (1883-1959). Λεύκωμα από το αρχείο του [Manolis Triandaphyllidis (1883-1959). An Album from his archive]

Manolis Triandaphyllidis's archive, digitized and available on the "Digital Library" of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, has a total of 12,632 documents. The study of this rich material, which Triandaphyllidis himself made sure to bequeath to us, reveals an equally exuberant, rare personality by Greek standards.

In all this richness it is difficult to identify a single cohesive element; the researcher of the archive, however, has the opportunity to trace the threads that run through M. Triandaphyllidis's life and work. This is facilitated with the Album (edited by B.-E. Melikidou) we are publishing today. Readers will not only retain in their memory the key milestones of M. Triandaphyllidis's life and discover unknown aspects of his personality, but also get a flavour of the spirit of his time.

The presentation follows thematic criteria and unfolds in fifteen sections, while keeping a basic chronological order. When transcribing the documents it was deemed necessary to modernize the spelling.

Dr. V. Melikidou is the editor of the book.
