This book has no pretensions to being academic. On purpose its author has not read any other material connected with Ritsos's "Iconostasis of Anonymous Saints" except the original. Needless to say, not out of disrespect for the scholars and other Ritsologists. But solely in order not to be influenced and placed in the awkward position of having to discard precious insights because someone else has expressed them before.
