Comprising the holdings of the former Speros Basil Vryonis Center for the Study of Hellenism, this
Collection of some 70,000 volumes was purchased by philanthropist and alumnus Angelo Tsakopoulos and
donated to Sacramento State in December 2002. The Vryonis Center was initially established in Los Angeles in 1985 by
Dr. Speros Vryonis, Jr., a scholar of Byzantium and Ottoman Studies, in memory of his late son Speros Basil.
This early collection formed the core of the Vryonis Center Collection that would in 1989 come to reside in
Rancho Cordova, California. There the Collection was further enhanced under successive directors until its transfer to Sacramento State.
