Greek Syntipas Prints
The prints of the Greek Syntipas narrative, often titled Μυθολογικόν Συντίπα του Φιλοσόφου (Mythologikon Syntipa tou Philosophou), were produced primarily in Venice and later Athens throughout the 18th and 19th centuries, and well into the 20th century as well. This narrative follows the 'Reworking' or 'Metaphrasis' pattern (see below for the story order).
The information about the print tradition comes primarily from the comprehensive list provided by Kechagioglou (2024). In addition to the surviving prints (up to 1900) (listed below), Kechagioglou also notes several prints that are no longer extant, but which we know existed thanks to the catalogues of printing houses and other similar records. These include the presumed earliest print, dating from c. 1712-1713, printed by Antonio Bortoli in Venice, though Kechagioglou notes that earlier editions may also have existed. The full history of the printed Mythologikon Syntipa tou Philosophou should therefore include the following confirmed or possible early print editions that no longer have extant copies:
- Venice, A. Bortoli, 1712 -1713
- (perhaps) Venice, A. Bortoli, 1721-1722
- (perhaps) Venice, A. Bortoli, between 1746 and 1755
- Venice, D. Theodosiou, 1765 or 1766
- (perhaps) Venice, 1785
Additionally, Kechagioglou notes the following 20th century prints that are not included in the Database:
- Athens 1901 or 1902
- Athens 1904
- Athens 1905
- (perhaps) Athens 1913
- (perhaps) Athens, M. Saliveros (?) after 1913
- (perhaps) Athens, M. Saliveros, ± 1916
- Athens, M. Saliveros, after 1918
- Athens, M. Saliveros (?), 1926
- Athens, M. Saliveros, 1931 or 1932
