Athanasios Psalidas. Αἰκατερίνα ἡ Β´, ἤτοι Ἱστορία σύντομος τῆς ἐν τῇ ὁδοιπορίᾳ αὐτῆς πρὸς τοὺς ἐν Νίζνῃ καὶ Ταυρίᾳ Γραικοὺς ὑπ᾽ αὐτῆς δεχθείσης Εὐνοίας..., Vienna, Josef Baumeister, 1792.
First and sole edition and third known copy. Psalidas describes his impressions from the passage of Catherine the Great through the Crimea in 1787, while he himself was in Ninza. He refers mainly to the great favour she showed to the Greek colonies of Southern Russia, such as in matters regarding tax exemptions for the merchants and the free movement of their goods.
