Kocój (2016) edit

Kocój (2016): At that time, the city was replete with cultural and educational institutions, including a library (established in 1710); the first Balkan printing house called the Printing House of St. Naum (est. 1720), run by a Greek native Gregorios Constantinidhi (Gregorios Typografos); and a school named the New Academy (Nea Akadīmia, Hellênikon Frôntistêrion; est. 1744), with Greek as the language of instruction. It is worth adding that in the 18th century Moscopole was home to many renowned figures of religious life, among them Gregory of Durres (died 1770), also known as Gregory of Moscopole – an Orthodox monk, Bible translator and assistant rector of the New Academy, who came to Moscopole probably in 1730 and in 1741 wrote The Life of St. Nicodemus The source refers to a different Gregory.--Maleschreiber (talk) 12:13, 25 March 2023 (UTC)Reply
