Bernard Le Bovier de Fontenelle. Ὁμιλίαι περὶ πληθύος κόσμων... Μεταφρασθεῖσα... παρὰ Παναγιωτάκη Καγκελλαρίου Κοδρικᾶ..., Vienna, Georgios Vendotis, 1794.
First and sole edition of the Homiliae, that is to say the Greek translation of De la Pluralité des Mondes by Fontenelle edited by P. Kodrikas and that he dedicated to the ruler of Moldo-Wallachia M. Soutsos. From his foreword Kodrikas does not restrict himself to matters relating to Fontenelle’s work but expresses his dolour at the degeneration of the Greek language and reverts to Antiquity to pinpoint the causes of the rape of the Attic dialect.
