1943 Patriarchal letter signed by Cyril IX Moghabghab, Melkite Greek Catholic Patriarch, issued in Alexandria

Egypt 1943 - Cyril IX Moghabghab, Melkite Greek Catholic Patriarch (Signed Patriarchal Letter, Alexandria)

Addressed to Dr. Tawfiq Hajjar in Cairo, the letter opens with the formal Melkite invocation of peace and apostolic blessing. However, its content is explicitly political, offering a rare glimpse into the diplomatic and intercessory functions of the Patriarchate during the final months of World War II and immediately before the proclamation of Lebanese independence (November 1943). Hajjar had requested patriarchal support for his appointment as a Lebanese political representative in the Egyptian kingdom. Cyril IX acknowledges this request and commends Hajjar’s standing among Cairo’s senior figures, noting that his reputation strengthens the legitimacy of the proposed appointment. Read more →

1949 Greece Ministry of Foreign Affairs certified translation and legalisation from Volos to Athens

Greece 1949 - Ministry of Foreign Affairs Certified Translation and Legalisation (Volos–Athens)

This document sits within a broader system shaped by the political and administrative climate of post–World War II Greece. Before the widespread availability of private sworn translators and standardized international notarial agreements, the Greek Ministry of Foreign Affairs maintained an internal Translation and Legalisation Department responsible for producing certified translations and official authentications for use abroad. Municipal or community authorities such as the President of the Community in Volos first certified the original act; only then could an MFA translator in Athens prepare an English version, which finally received ministerial legalization so that foreign courts, consulates, or immigration offices would accept the document as valid.
