The Only Known Copy of the Second Edition of K. M. Koumas's (1777–1836) Work, Ιστορίαι των ανθρώπινων πράξεων [Histories of Human Actions], Smyrna, 1879, now housed in the Gennadius Library.
The copy originally belonged to Frangiskos Vasileiou Kampanis of Paros, likely born around 1860. It was later passed down through the generations to his son Vasileios, his grandson Frangiskos (born 1933), and his great-grandson Dimitris, a historian. Dimitris, in turn, decided to donate the volume to the Gennadius Library, ensuring its preservation and accessibility for the scholarly community and all interested readers.

Το μοναδικό γνωστό αντίτυπο της β' έκδοσης του πρώτου τόμου του δωδεκάτομου βιβλίου του Κωνσταντίνου Μ. Κούμα (1777-1836): Ιστορίαι των ανθρωπίνων πράξεων, Σμύρνη 1879, στη Γεννάδειο Βιβλιοθήκη.
Το αντίτυπο ανήκε αρχικά στον Φραγκίσκο Βασιλείου Καμπάνη από την Πάρο, ο οποίος πιθανώς γεννήθηκε γύρω στο 1860. Στη συνέχεια, πέρασε στην κατοχή του γιου του Βασιλείου, του εγγονού του Φραγκίσκου (1933-) και του δισεγγονού του Δημήτρη, ιστορικού, που αποφάσισε να το δωρίσει στη Γεννάδειο Βιβλιοθήκη, διασφαλίζοντας την πρόσβασή του στην επιστημονική κοινότητα και κάθε ενδιαφερόμενο.
