Series IV: Photographs, Slides, and Negatives

 Series — Box: 18-21

Scope and content note

From the Collection:

Series I includes only works by Edward Bodnar, whether originally authored by Bodnar or translated by him. The series contains multiple drafts of many of these works, from first draft tentative "sense-translations" to final drafts. The card catalogs included in the series also contain photographs of manuscripts found in many of the archives listed.

Series II includes not only copies of Ciriaco manuscripts, but also Bodnar's notes on them, meticulously organized by archive, then by individual manuscript. The names of archives are often shortened to a sigla or code, listings of which can be found in box 5. At times Bodnar included photographs or negatives of manuscripts along with his notes, all of which can be found in the series.

Series III is comprised only of offprints of articles or books on Ciriaco. As an authority on Ciraco, Bodnar frequently commented on or reviewed works. The series contains those works, along with any notes or correspondence pertaining to the work.

Series IV includes all photographs, slides, and negatives filed separately from copies of Ciriaco manuscripts and works by Bodnar. Many of the photographs and slides were taken by Bodnar as he retraced Ciriaco's journeys, examining ruins and inscriptions Ciriaco described in his own writings. Other photos chronicle Bodnar's interest in classical Greece and the Mediterranean in general. The microfilm collection in box 21 is comprised entirely of copies of Ciriaco manuscripts, each labeled by archive and then by manuscript, as in Series II.
