History
[
edit
]
In 1790, the two
Aromanian
typographer
Markides Pouliou brothers
, Poulios and Georgios, from
Siatista
, started publishing the newspaper in the Greek, Serbo-Croatian ("Illyrian") and German languages, after successfully negotiating a license from the
Austrian
authorities.
Vienna
, the Austrian capital, was at that time an important commercial center for Greek merchants. The newspaper published the
Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen
in serials, as well as several works by
Rigas Feraios
. The newspaper's run lasted until 1797, when Georgios Markides Pouliou was arrested along with Rigas Feraios for their publication of "revolutionary and godless" works, and the paper was shut down in January 1798.
[3]
Many of its original issues can be seen in various public libraries in
Greece
, and in 2000, the
Academy of Athens
reprinted a collected edition of the newspaper.
