Near Eastern and Aegean Texts from the Third to the First Millennia BC
The texts in this volume provide evidence for Cyprus' ancient history . Indeed, the island was in the realm of 'prehistory' due to no written documents existing, except as clay tablets. Several specialists have contributed their translations to the texts, showing a need for a collection of the diverse range of ancient texts discussing Cyprus.
The Final Days of British Rule in Cyprus
This volume presents the diaries of Taylor and Edith Belcher, who frequently travelled to Cyprus and also had close links to the University at Albany. Indeed, the University Library has a room commemorated as the Taylor and Edith Belcher Cyprus Room. The diaries of the Belchers document Cyprus at a critical time and provide witness accounts of contemporary Cypriot history. A respect and affection for the Cypriot people is conveyed. Also included are the official dispatches of Taylor, the Consul General, to the State Department.
Prosopography of Cypriot
This volume aims to explore the common backgrounds of persons living in Cyprus from the eleventh to the third century B.C.

The Syllabic Inscriptions highlight the different connections between these people and therefore show the social, political and religious institutions of their time.
Greek and Latin Texts to the Third Century A.D.
This English translation aims to bring together the most important Greek and Latin literature written about the history of Cyprus. Thus the literary material in this volume begins as early as possible and concludes in the third century of our era. A substantial amount of Cypriot history is founded on Greek texts and hence this volume provides translations that otherwise would not have been available to history students.

The texts chosen provide information on socio-economic conditions, including agriculture, taxation and trade. Also included are the attitudes of various writers toward the island and its people.
