Abstract

This paper offers the first cohesive historical account of the political relationships between liberal Spain and revolutionary Greece during the earliest period of the Greek Struggle for Independence (1821-23). It overcomes previous, rather ragmentary attempts, by relying on a set of newly discovered, unpublished documents once belonging to Andreas Louriotis, commissioner of the Provisional Government in Corinth sent to Madrid in 1822.
