Pavlos Karolidis or Karolides (Greek: Παύλος Καρολίδης, c. 1849 – 26 July 1930) was a Greek historian who lived in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
Life
Karolidis was born in 1849 in the village of Androniki (
On his return from Germany, he initially taught in the Greek high schools of Pera and Chalcedon. In 1876 he went to Smyrna to teach at the Evangelical School. There he remained until 1886, when he moved permanently to Athens in the independent Greek kingdom. After teaching in a high school for a few months, he was elected assistant professor of General History at the University of Athens. In 1893, he succeeded the dean of modern Greek historians, Constantine Paparrigopoulos, at the chair of Greek History.[3] Initially, Karolidis pursued the idea of occupying a new seat for Oriental Studies, where he was more qualified, but his rivalry with Spyridon Lambros negated this prospect.[4]

Works
Karolidis's initial research, during the 1870s and 1880s, was focused on his home region of Cappadocia, with the publication of Kappadokika, a historical and archaeological dissertation on Cappadocia in 1874 and his studies on the city of Comana and the Cappadocian Greek dialect published in 1882 and 1885 respectively.[7]
Although an eminent Orientalist, after his appointment to the University of Athens Karolidis largely neglected the field and instead turned to Greek and general history, in conformity with the chairs he held. He published 18 books and 38 articles in the period 1893–1908, including his three volume History of the 19th Century, a three volume-work (plus the introductory Introduction) which focuses on Greece, and his unfinished Universal or World History, only four of whose projected ten volumes were completed. The latter work is of particular importance as it was one of the rare studies on the historical method written in Greek until then. He is also notable as the editor of the revised edition of Paparrigopoulos' History of the Greek Nation, published in 1902–1903.[4]
