Subject: e-mail exchange for students

Humanists,
Although I sent this message out on the Milton network first, I'm wondering
whether other college students who might be taking courses in Renaissance
literature from any of you might like to involve themselves in electronic pen-
pal activities with their counterparts at the Univ.of Iowa.
I have 27 undergraduate students this term reading Milton and making for
themselves as a class project their own "interpreter's annotated edition of PL"
using the Multi-Media Annotater and other Macintosh computer programs.
We are also using e-mail to extend class discussion beyond the times and
space of normal class meetings. And e-mail means Internet and the world beyond.
Do any of you know students who would like to correspond via e-mail with
these students?
If so, please send me their names and Internet addresses, and somebody (I
hope) will be getting back to them soon.
Send the list to john-huntley@uiowa.edu
Otherwise known as John Huntley, Dept.of English, 308 EPB, Univ. of Iowa, Iowa
City, IA, 52242.
We hope to hear from you.

A Colleague is seeking an electronic copy of the ODYSSEY.
Does anyone know of a location for Anonymous FTP downloading?

Thank You,

Subject: Preserving our work

I'd like information from anyone who has obtained funding for the
preservation of the research notes, documents or other personal papers
for a university professor. We have an art historian at my campus who
would like to put his slide collection onto CD-ROM. If someone has
been successful in persuading their administration to fund such a
project, we'd like to know about it, to imitate success.

I shall always remember the office of my professor of medieval history,
with its stacked drawers of note cards representing a lifetime of
research. When he retires all that bibliographic work will go with him,
to disappear into a basement and finally into a landfill. Why not
computerize it and leave it as a legacy to the department and the
university? Or the professor of Renaissance music with his hours of
recordings -- what better testament to his work than to preserve it?

Reply directly to me or to the list, and thank you for taking the time
to do so.

Subject: Atto of Vercelli

I am posting this to a number of lists, withthe usual apologies for
multiplication:


A correspondent on Classics urgently needs illustrations or
illuminations of Atto, Bishop of Vercelli (10th c.). She have
finally found one of Pope Gelasius (494). The reason her need is urgent is that
the producer of a BBC-TV program to be aired in November in London will accept
Atto's testimony of women priests in early Christianity only if she has an
illustration to use as well.

Please send any info on these matters to me at my usual address or
directly to the person looking for the information. Her e-mail
address is: Rossim@Lawrence.edu (Mary Ann Rossi)

Bill

Subject: Query
 
 
I recently received a brochure from a data entry company
called Dataphon (Mauritius) Ltd. based in London.  They do
bulk keyboarding.  Does anyone have experience dealing with
them?  I am interested in getting opinions on their quality
and costs for large projects.  Thanks in advance.

Subject: Humanist discussion on Codex etc
 
Dear HUmanist,
some while ago there was some discussion on Humanist about the development of
the codex. I cannot see a likely looking entry in the Humanist Index so I
wonder if anyone can give me a clue as to when the discussion occurred so I
can summon the appropriate log files.
many thanks
David Zeitlyn
