Priceless dictionaries recovered

THREE 400-year-old dictionaries estimated to be worth around $6 million were recovered by authorities in the north this week.

Yesterday, Turkish Cypriot daily Kibris newspaper reported that the dictionaries were seized during an operation carried out in Kyrenia.
The dictionaries, under the name of “Okyanus” were written in Venice during the Ottoman Empire. Two people have been arrested and appeared in a Kyrenia court.

The Cyprus Mail is the only English-language daily newspaper published in Cyprus. It was established in 1945 and today, with its popular and widely-read website, the Cyprus Mail is among the most trusted news sites in Cyprus. The newspaper is not affiliated with any political parties and has always striven to maintain its independence. Over the past 70-plus years, the Cyprus Mail, with a small dedicated team, has covered momentous events in Cyprus’ modern history, chronicling the last gasps of British colonial rule, Cyprus’ truncated independence, the coup and Turkish invasion, and the decades of negotiations to stitch the divided island back together, plus a myriad of scandals, murders, and human interests stories that capture the island and its -people. Observers describe it as politically conservative.
