Talk:New Academy (Moscopole)

When did it become New Academy?
We have two scholars who differently express themselves as to when the Academy started to be called "New Academy"


 * Mikropoulos says it started to be called New Academy after 1744
 * Lloshi says that it was called New Academy in 1750 when the school was hosted in the new building. p.103

IMO they don't necessarily diverge. Mikropoulos simply says "after 1744", which can be because we don't have any sources for the 1744-1750 period. As a result I would suggest that we go with Lloshi as far as the year of the new naming is concerned. --  S ulmues (talk) 14:47, 11 October 2010 (UTC)

Fortunatelly there are plenty of academic references that give detailed discriptions on that period. Apart from Mikropoulos, we have Peyfuss (he's one of the 'top' specialists on the subject) here [] (p. 116) and [] (p. 38). He also confirms that Sevastos Leontiades was the first director of the N.Academy (which means prior to 1750).

Additional works that focus on the topic also confirm this year (1744): Kekridis [], p. 42, there is additional bibliography: [] [][][][].

Of course less detailed works on the subject may not use exact years, like Lloshi (using 1750 instead of 1744). But we need to be more precise here. Also notice that when Kavalliotis became director (1750 but there is an alternative of 1748) we had already the New Academy.Alexikoua (talk) 17:44, 11 October 2010 (UTC)

Printing press
While Miropoulos says that the printing press was established in 1731, Lloshi says it was 1720, so I entered both. Shuteriqi says it was the only one in the Balkans at that time, which doesn't seem to be contradicting Miropoulos, who says that the other one was in Istanbul (not in Balkans). --  S ulmues (talk) 15:09, 11 October 2010 (UTC)

I'l check this, but it was for sure not the first in the Balkans: to be precise it was the first in the Balkans if we exclude Istmbul (some 100 years before).Alexikoua (talk) 18:13, 11 October 2010 (UTC)
