The source of the saying quoted by Sheizaf Rafaeli is the Italian
Immanuel Ha-Romi (1260-1328), in his _Mahbarot_, ed. D. Yarden
(Jerusalem, 1957/8), 8.277. See also Leopold Dukes, _Nahal Qedumim
Nahalat Ya'aqov_ (Hanover, 1853, repr. 1968/9), vol. 2, pp. 54-59,
who titles a chapter of his book with this saying. For a Hebrew
paraphrase, to the effect that poetry's "strength" is in its
dis-similitude, see the Even-Shoshan _Dictionary_, s.v. _kazav_, where
this saying is quoted. Needless to say, Immanuel was a poet.

The simtel files are available on bitnet from listserv@rpiecs. The best
way to start is probably by sending a one-line mail message (with no
subject):
/pdget pd1:<msdos.starter>simtel20.inf
This will get you a small (ca. 10pp) document that is all I've ever
needed to use this service handily. (I don't recall, but I think the
info comes as a spooled file rather than as a mail message. If this is
right, you will see a bullet when you log on that says there is a
message waiting for you. You then need to 'receive' that message to get
it into your directory, from which you can edit, print, or download it.)

To the list which Sue Stigleman is creating of bibliographic software,
you should add LIBRARY MASTER. This is a very powerful and flexible
bibliographic and textual database manager, which can be adapted to a
wide variety of applications for libraries and personal scholarly
research.
LIBRARY MASTER allows easy entry of multilingual text of arbitrary
length, rapid powerful searches on any combination of fields, and
flexible report formatting. It allows researchers to keep track of tens
of thousands of articles and books and to take research notes on these
works. Information can be classified not only under subjects but also
passages in literary works such as the Bible, classical literature and
Shakespeare.
The flexible report generator is designed to work especially well with
variable length text. Complex reports can be designed without
programming. Reports can produce documents in the file formats of
popular word processors. Annotated bibliographies are automatically
formatted according to manuals of writing style such as Modern Language
Association, University of Chicago, American Psychological Association,
Turabian, Vancouver, Council of Biology Editors and others.
Data may be imported from a wide variety of sources, including online
library catalogs, online information services, other database programs
and text files.
If anyone wants more information, they should send me an email note at
HAHNE@UTOREPAS and I will send a more detailed information sheet. A free
demo version is also available.
