weitere InformationThe Public Library of the village of Milies on Mt. Pelion in Thessaly aligns its origins with the foundation of the School of Milies, indelibly linked to the names of three native scholars of the Greek Enlightenment — Gregorios Constantas, Anthimos Gazes, and Daniel Philippides — and the date of 1814, on the School’s foundation charter. Housed in a building facing the main square of the village, the Library hosts a rare historical collection (“among the most important of the Neohellenic Enlightenment”) comprising approximately 2,500 early books (printed throughout Europe, 1497-1899) in various languages, and over one hundred manuscripts. The Library currently operates under the auspices of the Greek Ministry of Education and includes a contemporary lending division.
