Theodore Anastasios Kavalliotis ( Greek: Θεόδωρος Αναστασίου Καβαλλιώτης; Aromanian: Teodor Anastasie Cavalioti; [1] Albanian: Theodor Kavalioti, [2] 1718 – 11 August 1789 [3]) was a Greek Orthodox priest, teacher and a figure of the Greek Enlightenment. [4] He is also known for having drafted an Aromanian–Greek–Albanian dictionary. [5]
Theodoros Anastasiou Kavalliotis was born in Kavala or Moscopole, where he spent most of his life. He has been described variously as either Aromanian or Albanian [6] or Greek. [7] Regardless, Kavalliotis had a Greek identity. [8] He studied in Moscopole and later pursued higher studies in mathematical and philosophical sciences at the Maroutseios college in Ioannina (in 1732-1734), directed by Eugenios Voulgaris. [9]
He returned to Moscopole and was appointed teacher at the New Academy ( Greek: Νέα Ακαδημία Nea Akadimia) in 1743. [10] In 1750 he succeeded his former teacher Sevastos Leontiadis and became director of the New Academy for more than 20 years (1748–1769). [11] His works, written in Greek, are Logic (1749, unpublished), Physics (1752, unpublished), Grammar of modern Greek (1760), Metaphysics (1767), Protopeiria (1770). They were used extensively and hand-made copies were found even as far as Iaşi, Romania. After the destruction of Moscopole at 1769, he probably went to Tokaj, Hungary, but returned at 1773. [11]
In 1770, he published in Venice, at Antonio Bortoli's printing press, a school textbook, called Protopeiria. [12] Protopeiria is a 104 pages textbook which in pages 15–59 included a trilingual lexicon of 1,170 Greek, Aromanian, and Albanian words. [13] This work aimed at the Hellenization of the non-Greek-speaking Christian communities in the Balkans. [14] [15] The lexicon was re-published in 1774 by the Swedish [16] professor Johann Thunmann, who taught at the University of Halle-Wittenberg. Thunmann added a Latin translation to the words in Greek, Aromanian, and Albanian. [17]
Besides Eugenios Voulgaris, he was also influenced by the work of Vikentios Damodos, Methodios Anthrakites, René Descartes, and medieval scholastics.[ citation needed]
Kavalliotis couldn't manage to reestablish the destroyed New Academy. [18] During his last months he witnessed another wave of destruction of his home place, in June 1789 by local Muslim lords. Kavalliotis died at August 11, 1789, aged 71. [19]
