Subject: _Black Man of the Nile_

This may be taken as a follow-up to our earlier discussion of Martin
Bernal's _Black Athena_. A student of mine has been reading _Black Man
of the Nile and his Family_, by Yosef A.A. ben-Jochanan (Baltimore:
Black Classic Press, 1989). I did not know the book until he showed it
to me, so promised that I would ask whether anyone "out there" knew of
it and could offer substantive critique. All that I can tell is that
it's not in the same league as _Black Athena_ -- it's filled with typos
and seems to capitalize words in almost every sentence. But it does
make some similar points, esp. on the systematic revision of the
classical view by European classicists, and that ancient Egyptians were
black.

If you know the book and wish to comment, please contact me at

Subject: Library-related inquiry

SUBJECT: Have you had problems using libraries in study abroad?

I am an academic librarian at Ohio State Univ., currently study- ing
what is sometimes called the 'information gap' between first- world and
2d- & 3rd-world countries and its impact on students and teachers. I
would welcome first-hand narrative accounts of problems encountered by
American or "first-world" scholars in doing research or in assigning
projects to students in countries where library re- sources are not all
they could be... (Deadline 30 March 1991)

From: Sean O'Cathasaigh, FRI001@UK.AC.SOTON.IBM
Department of French, The University, Southampton SO9 5NH

A colleague who has just finished a PhD on French as a Second
Language would like to know about forthcoming conferences that
might interest her. I'm afraid I haven't kept copies of recent
announcements from Canada and the US. Any information will be
gratefully received.

Subject: E-Texts Query

The following query is made on behalf of Professor Sean Connolly, of
the University of College Cork, Ireland.

I am looking for an e-text of the Bible which includes the
deuterocanonical (alias apocryphal) books and is in English, preferably
the Revised Standard Version (Catholic version) or the Oxford Annotated
Bible with Apocrypha, or the Jerusalem Bible. What e-texts of these
versions are currectly available, what formats are available and from
whom are they available.

I am also looking for an e-text of the Vulgate.

Please respond to the following address:

Sean Connolly
<ARAC6001@IRUCCVAX.UCC.IE>

I myself would like to know if there exists a comprehensive directory
of e-texts specific to biblical studies that are currently available,
in progress or planned.

If you know of any such animal please respond to HUMANIST.

Subject: request

I'm using MacLinguist to get phonetic symbols. Now I want to get a laser
print. Does anyone know about a Linguist laser font? Also, I want to
transfer a PC WordPerfect file to MicrosoftWord Mac file, without
loosing the footnotes. I can get a pretty good thing with Apple File
Exchange, but I loose the footnotes.

ThanksŁ

Elena Benedicto.

Subject: OMNIPAGE references.


I wish those of you using OMNIPAGE in a IBM or compatible environment
could send me the price of the latest version and eventually the address
of the dealer they purchased it from. Is it possible to buy it directly
from the manufacturer?
