Subject: Icons

A colleague who works in Byzantine art history is interested in all uses
of the word icon. She would like to know exactly who started using it for
computer "icons", and when and precisely why (is it just a cute word for
"picture," or is there more to it?). Can anyone help?

Subject: Renaut de Beaujeu electronic texts

A few weeks (or months) back someone inquired about machine-readable
versions of texts by Renaut de Beaujeu. I have just learned of one such
text: a friend has keyed in Le Bel Inconnu in WordPerfect. It has
typos, but she is willing to share it. She has no Email address, but can
be contacted at:
Debora Schwartz
955 East Southern Ave., Apt. 257
Tempe, AZ 85202
(602)752-1721
I hope that this can still be of help.
