The Alexander Flyer/Leaflet originally published in 1797 by Rigas Velestilnis-Ferraios and republished 11 years after his death in 1809 . It is written in Greek (left side) and French (right side) and describes the life of Alexander the Great ‘leader of the Greeks’. Here is the English translation:
 
Writing at the top:
‘This engraving represents the busts of Alexander and those of his generals based on that of an Oriental red agate stone found in the Royal Court of Vienna. The four side panels represent:
1) His triumphant entry into Babylon
2) The defeat of the Persians at the Grannicus River
3) The total defeat of Darius and,
4) The family of this defeated king at Alexander’s feet.’
 
Writing at the bottom:
‘Alexander was born in 356 BC, studied philosophy under Aristotle, first proved his valour and military skills at Chaeronea under the command of his father, and succeeded him on the throne of Macedonia at age 21. Renowned as the leader of the Greeks, in 333 he gathered all his forces against Persia and destroyed that empire in Asia and in Africa joining it to his own empire. Many important cities even today owe their existence to him. He died at the age of 33 after having reigned 12 years.’

1809
 
The 4 busts of his generals ‘The Diadochoi’ (The Heirs) to his throne are also depicted. From top right to top left their Greek names read: ‘Antigonos’, ‘Kassandros’, ‘Ptolemaios’, and ‘Seleukos’.

The following is from page 87 of the book by Konstantinos Douflias:
 
THE REVOLUTIONARY DECLARATION OF THE TEMPORARY GOVERNMENT OF ELIMIA (WESTERN MACEDONIA)
In the county of Elimia in Western Macedonia (present day Kozani; in Macedonia, Greece), another group of Greek Revolutionaries took up arms in 1878 in the town of Bourino around the same time as their compatriots on Mt. Olympus. They called themselves: ‘The Temporary Government of Elimia’. The president was I.K Kovandaros, and the leader of the Revolutionaries was I. Liatis. Below is the declaration of ‘The Temporary Government of Elimia’ which expresses the will to fight off the Ottoman Turks and unite with ‘mother Greece’.

Thanks to Christos for the info.

The following document is a  sample of the immense sacrifices commited by Macedonians in favor of their motherland Hellas.  Its an application written by Chrysafis Anastasiou, a Macedonian as himself signs, to the Greek government with date  19.6.1865 where inside he describes his soul-stirring life story. He was born in Naoussa, Macedonia. He particiapted like many other Macedonians in the Greek revolution where he had his father and many of his relatives, including his mother and sister, killed. Himself was captured by Turks and after 3 years in capture, his surviving relatives paid ransom and managed to be released. This Macedonian like his relatives “never stopped fighting for Greece” and “praising the names of Liberty and Greece“. In 1865, while being old and ill, he requested from the related commitee of the Greek government a frugal help through this application.

The Ecclesiastical library has some interesting historical documents involving certain areas in Macedonia. This is the Firmani of Sultan Mahmut in 1815 about the nomination of Veniamin as new bishop of Kozani and Servion.
