A Seismic History of Crete: The Hellenic Arc and Trench

2011171680In English. Soft cover 24 cm 420 pp. ill.: 70 B/W photos. ISBN: 978-960-9499-68-2.The seismicity in Greece and in the adjacent regions is the highest in the Western Eurasia. One of the most active seismotectonic structures in that region is the Hellenic Arc and Trench H-AT system. The island of Crete occupies the central segment of H-AT just to the north of the front where the lithospheric plates of Africa and Eurasia converge and the former bends and subducts beneath the later. Therefore the shallow and intermediate-depth seismicity in the area of Crete is very high. In addition these processes produce other important geodynamic phenomena such as volcanic eruptions along the South Aegean Sea island arc as well as tsunamis. In Crete civilization was developed long ago and because of this the earthquake record goes also very back in the past. The rich seismic history of Crete was documented so far in historical sources and instrumental records. However historical documentation is not complete and several earthquake events escaped historical record and remained unknown. In addition some strong events of the instrumental era of seismicity are not well-studied. Therefore there is need to review and complete further the historical seismicity of Crete. This is the first objective for writing this book. It is worth noting that new knowledge about historical earthquakes and tsunamis in the area of Crete was accumulated from geological and archaeological observations. In addition analytical laboratory results e.g. for dating purposes and numerical modeling of tsunami waves yield new insight in the study of earthquakes and tsunamis. However such new knowledge has not been integrated so far into a unified methodological approach as a supplement to historical and instrumental documentation. This is exactly the second objective for writing this book.The third reason that justifies writing this book is that three very important key-events have taken place exactly in the area of Crete: The LBA 17th century BC or Minoan giant eruption of Thera volcano and its associated large tsunami as well as the big tsunamigenic earthquakes of AD 365 and 1303. The repeat of such extreme events in the future would have dramatic consequences for the communities in a large part of the Mediterranean basin. Therefore their study by all available means is a scientific challenge of high-priority.CONTENTS:Chapter 1: Geodynamics Seismotectonic Setting and Seismicity - Chapter 2: Information Sources Data and Methodology - Chapter 3: Key Events and Key Test-Sites - Chapter 4: Earthquakes and Tsunamis in Minoan and Doric Crete 20th century to 2nd century B.C. - Chapter 5.

A True and perfect narrative of the strange and unexpected finding the crucifix and gold-chain of that pious prince St. Edward the King and Confessor which was found. and presented to His Most Sacred Majesty King James the Second.

1688000125London: Printed by J.B. and sold by Randal Taylor 1688. First Edition. . Hardcover. See Description. Small 4to. pp. 6 34. With imprimatur leaf facing the title. Bound in 19th century marbled boards rubbed. Re-backed in black morocco with older gilt lettered spine laid on. Bookplate depicting a baron's crown on inside front cover. Sticker removed from front end paper. Booklet is trimmed on the bottom obscuring the lower printed border line on the title page but not affecting any text. Plenty of space remains in the margins of the text pages. 40 sheets of 19th century blank paper are bound in the rear. Top edge gilt. The author is actually Henry Keepe writing under the pseudonym of Charles Taylour. His booklet addressed to King James II describes how he Keepe salvaged the crucifix and gold chain of Edward the Confessor from a damaged tomb at Westminster and how he later presented this treasure to the newly crowned king. The author claims that his discovery of the artifact on June 11 1685 was a "forerunner of the Good News" that James had defeated his enemies presumably the Duke of Monmouth. Keepe then relates three previous occasions when King Edward's body was disinterred. On each occasion the corpse was supposedly found in a miraculously uncorrupted state. These stories stand in some contrast to the author's own experience. Although Keepe stresses that the tomb's artifacts including the gold chain and crucifix correspond to historical accounts he also reveals perhaps inadvertently that the Confessor's body was nothing but bones. Unusual and scarce piece. ESTC locates only 7 copies in the U.S. OCLC lists 5 locations. ESTC R12288; Wing K128; Clancy English Catholic Books 565.
