The former Prime Minister and lawyer Konstantinos G. Simitis entrusted the Historical Library of the Aikaterini Laskaridis Foundation with part of his family’s library, thus significantly enriching the legal department of our collection.
Its collection has been composed of documents from the personal libraries of his grandfather Spyridon, his father George and himself. It mainly concerns issues of general and political history with emphasis on law and legislation, civil law, civil procedure, constitutional law, commercial law, trademarks and unfair competition. Also included are documents related to philosophy and humanities, but also some related to the social sciences and modern Greek literature. Many of the books in the collection bear dedications by the authors. The collection is available for study by researchers.
We express our sincere condolences to his family.
