Subject: "B.C.E." again
A little while ago we had some discussion on the origin of the
designations "B.C.E./C.E." (Before the Common Era/Common Era), used
as value-free replacements for the traditional B.C./A.D.
My question has to do not with origins, but with current opinions and
use of these designations. A colleague of mine informs me that in the
Arab world -- or at least in some parts -- these "value-free"
replacements are regarded as Israeli/American. Do others have
experience of this? How is this innovation regarded by our European
members?
Thanks for your thoughts on this question.
David.

Subject:
I have a very bright bright student who just completed an M.A. in
German and is looking for a Ph.D. program in the U.S. or Canada that
will allow her to combine an interest in German linguisitics/philology
with second language acquisition. She realizes that the application
deadline for 1992 is fast approaching, and as a matter of fact she
has already made application to a couple of schools, but she is
concerned that there are other good programs out there that she is not
aware of.
If anyone has recommendations I would appreciate hearing about them.

I am trying to contact Laurin A. Wollan, Jr, Associate Professor
of Criminology at Florida State University. Does any HUMANIST
have his e-mail address at hand?
Michel.

Subject: Question: empty-handed more Parthorum
In a German letter written in 1536 a South German town-clerk says:
"in order to approach you not empty handed more Parthorum (I send a gift)".
I suppose that this might be an allusion to a historical event, but I could not
find the source. Can you help?
