Jacob P. Fallmerayer to George Finlay. Munich, 13 March 1851. Apologies for delay in reply to George Finlay's letter of 12 August 1850, due to travel, illness, and other hindrances. His pleasant experiences in Athens, Trebizond, and Colchis now blotted out by unfortunate political condition of Germany .and merged into the melancholy remembrances of a lost paradise. Discusses scenes decorating 'the monastic church' and their dissimilarity with the court style of the Comneni at Trebizond. His sketch of the portrait of the imperial founder of the St. Dionysios monastery on the Holy Mountain (Athos). Refers to his other work on Trebizond and regrets lack of interest in this in Germany (in German, Gothic script).
Athens, 18 May 1850. Acknowledges L's pamphlet on islands. Comparison of Wyse and Lyons. Renunciation to Bavarian succession to be discussed. Favourable moment for England to intervene. Has finished his work on the Greek nation under Byzantine, Frankish, and Trebizuntine rule. Is going to visit Trebizond and Nicaea and probably Reveniko.
Constantinople, 15 June 1850. Is in process of visiting Thessalonica, Nicaea, Trebizond, and Constantinople. Will arrange to send casts of western frieze of Parthenon to England. Recent conversation with Stratford Canning on Greek political affairs; folly of Lyons's policy in Greece. Sir S. C.'s views reasonable. George Finlay's attempts to give true account of Greek affairs in his Blackwood articles. L's pamphlet on islands translated and published in Athens. George Finlay's satisfaction at treatment of his indemnity claim in both Greek and English presses.
Athens, 28 July 1850. Visit to Trebizond fruitful for both topography and the Chronicle of Panaretos. Further details of arrangements to send casts of western frieze of Parthenon to England (in bad condition, part missing).
Athens, 8 October 1850. Regrets that casts of western frieze of Parthenon have now been purchased by Danish government. Criticism of Palmerston' s policy re islands. Suggests ceding certain islands to Greek government. Corfu, Malta, and Gibraltar ought to send deputies to Imperial parliament. Last four volumes of Grote en route to him. Regrets errors in earlier volumes due to lack of personal knowledge of terrain. Plans for a volume on Greece 1204-1566 with Trebizond; would supplement Gibbon. Assassination of Korphiotakis; nomination of Mavrocordatos, Metaxas, and Tricoupis as ambassadors to Paris, Constantinople, and London respectively. Criticism of Tricoupis as 'greedy miserable time server'.
