"My own translation is based primarily on the most recent publication, entitled Glafkos Thrassakis, by Livanis (Athens) in 1996. However, I did also make use of the 1989 Gnosis ed., also entitle Glafkos Thrassakis. In addition, one substantial cut from the 1996 ed. was made by Vassilikos himself during our first meeting concerning the text. This means that an approximately 200 page section from the Livanis ed. was not included in my translation"--e-mail from Karen Emmerich, the translator, Sept. 8, 2002.
