Nikolaos Glykis: the first “bee” of Epirus in Venice

In 1644, Nikolaos Glykis moved to Venice permanently and founded the Glykis Brothers trading house. From 1671 to 1850, the Glykis dedicated themselves to typographic art and opened a bookstore. Their enterprise was the longest-lived Greek printing house in Venice.The publishers Nikolaos Saros (1686-1706/7) and Demetrios and Panos Theodosiou (1755-1824) from Epirus followed Glykis’ example.They aimed to unite the Greeks around the world with Orthodox publications. Secular, liturgical, and pastoral books supply the spiritual nourishment Greek lands could not offer due to the Ottoman conquest.The Special Collections of the Zosimaia Public Central Historical Library of Ioannina are home to their valuable publications.
