Subject: TLG, Archaeology, and Art History

The Thesaurus Linguae Graecae is currently in the process of ascertaining
to what degree its texts are being utilized by various disciplines. In
particular, we are interested in learning if/how the TLG's resources have
exerted an impact upon the fields of archaeology and art history. We would
appreciate a brief note from anyone who can provide information this
subject.

Subject: Americanism desired

Forgive the apparent triviality of this request...

I am looking for one or more commonly used expressions in North American
English to describe the land mass south of the US/Mexico boder (ie. all of
Central and South America). I'm particularly interested in hearing about a
term or phrase - such as 'south of the border' - that would only make sense
within an assumed North American context (ie. 'south of the border' spoken
in Scotland would mean England).

Many thanks,

Marcus Banks, University of Oxford

Subject: Mesopotamian Hymn Source Needed

I am editing a reader which will include a Hymn to the Sumerian moon
God, Nanna, beginning, "Father Nanna, lord, conspicuously crowned."

It is printed in The Treasures of Darkness: A History of Mesopotamian
Religion, by Thorkild Jacobsen, but he cites as his source H. C.
Rawlinson, The Cuneiform Inscriptions of Western Asia, 4, 2nd ed.,
ed. T. G. Pinches, London, 1891: pl.9, lines 7-14.

It is not clear to me whether Jacobsen or Rawlinson actually made
the translation. Our library doesn't own the latter book. Would someone
out there kindly check the Rawlinson volume to see whether what he
printed was an English translation? It would save me considerable
trouble.

Thanks,

Subject:      Need help with original source of Gary Snyder piece
 
I am editing a reader in which I want to include Gary Snyder's
"Buddhism and the Coming Revolution" from Earth House Hold: Technical
Notes & Queries To Fellow Dharma Revolutionaries (New York: New
Directions, 1969). I'll  be writing soon for permission and may be
able to get my question answered then, but I would like to know now,
if anyone has a handy source, when this essay was first published
and where.
