The seven islands of Corfu, Paxoi, Kephalonia, Ithaca, Lefkada, Zakynthos, and Cythera (Ionian Sea, offshore western Greece) were a British protectorate with the name of “United States of the Ionian Islands” between 1815 and 1864. Although many earthquake studies have already examined the past seismicity of this area, they contain only a few data for a handful of earthquakes, for an area known to be characterized by a high level of seismicity. Against this fragmentary seismological knowledge stands a 50 yr abundant production of local documentary sources of different types and in diverse languages. For this reason and because most of the available sources had not been yet nor systematically looked into in the search for testimonies of earthquake effects, an ad hoc and comprehensive investigation was carried out. The number of records on earthquake effects is huge as well as unexpected, and the quality of the collected records is high. The 147 new macroseismic European Macroseismic Scale 1998 intensity values, accurately assigned on the basis of independent contemporary records only, are presented in the form of timelines of earthquake effects for the main towns of the four islands of Corfu, Kephalonia, Lefkada, and Zakynthos. Besides partially amending the gaps of the knowledge of these 50 yr of seismicity in the Ionian Islands, the great amount of freshly collected data suggests that historical seismological research may effectively contribute to improving the seismic scenarios of past earthquakes in many areas of the world.

记录1815年至1864年美国爱奥尼亚群岛地震

科孚岛,帕克索,凯法利尼亚岛,伊萨卡岛,莱夫卡达,扎金索斯和Cythera的七个岛屿(爱奥尼亚海,希腊西部近海)是英国的保护国,在1815年至1864年间被称为“爱奥尼亚群岛美国”。研究已经检查了该地区过去的地震活动性,它们仅包含少数地震的一些数据,而该地区已知具有很高的地震活动性。相对于这种零碎的地震学知识,有50年丰富的当地文献资料的生产,这些文献资料的类型和语言多种多样。由于这个原因,并且由于在寻找地震影响的证词时尚未对大多数可用资源进行调查,也未对其进行系统地调查,因此进行了专项和全面的调查。关于地震影响的记录数量之多,而且是出乎意料的,并且所收集记录的质量也很高。仅根据独立的当代记录准确地分配了147个新的1998年欧洲宏观地震强度强度值,这些地震强度的时间表以科孚岛,凯法利尼亚岛,莱夫卡达和扎金索斯四个岛的主要城镇的地震影响时间表显示。除了部分地弥补了爱奥尼亚群岛这50年地震活动知识的空白外,大量新近收集的数据表明,历史地震学研究可能有效地改善了世界许多地区过去地震的地震情况。仅根据独立的当代记录准确地分配了147个新的1998年欧洲宏观地震强度强度值,这些地震强度的时间表以科孚岛,凯法利尼亚岛,莱夫卡达和扎金索斯四个岛的主要城镇的地震影响时间表显示。除了部分地弥补了爱奥尼亚群岛这50年地震活动知识的空白外,大量新近收集的数据表明,历史地震学研究可能有效地改善了世界许多地区过去地震的地震情况。仅根据独立的当代记录准确地分配了147个新的1998年欧洲宏观地震强度强度值,这些地震强度的时间表以科孚岛,凯法利尼亚岛,莱夫卡达和扎金索斯四个岛的主要城镇的地震影响时间表显示。除了部分地弥补了爱奥尼亚群岛这50年地震活动知识的空白外,大量新近收集的数据表明,历史地震学研究可能有效地改善了世界许多地区过去地震的地震情况。
