Subject: Non-sexist language

Anyone know of a good manual that can be used for non-sexist
writing--something like a politically correct Strunk&White?

Subject: Education / Libraries in medieval Spain

For a couple of encyclopedia articles and sections of
a collaborative history of Spanish literature, I am
looking for recent work on medieval Spanish libraries
and education. In both cases I am primarily interested
in the period 1200-1500, but in the entire Iberian
peninsula excluding present-day Portugal.

1) Libraries. By recent I mean primarily post 1985. I think
I got most of the earlier stuff in my Libros y bibliotecas
en la Espanna medieval (London: Grant & Cutler, 1987) (Might
as well get in a plug.

2) Education. Here I am decidedly less au courant. Anything in
the last twenty years or so would be useful.

Many thanks,

Subject: misogynist

I am looking for the term, comparable to misogynist, for women who hate men.
The dictionary was of no use, as women obviously are not expected to hate men.

I am reviewing <Helter Skelter>, art exhibition in L.A. and need this word.

Thank you for your help,

Subject: The Divine Devilishness of DETAIL

I have long been enamoured of a quote I think is usually attributed
to the historian of Art and Civilization, Aby Warburg: "The Living
God lives in Detail" [I think the German is: "Der leiber Gott lebt
im Detail" -- but please forgive any errors resulting from
quoting from memory by a non-native speaker who got a C in College
German!]. I recently was struck by a highly learned literary
friend's use of the expression "The Devil is in the Details". This
has led me begin pondering what I am calling (for the time being)
THE DIVINE DEVILISHNESS OF DETAIL. I'm wondering if any fellow
Humanists have any thoughts on this subject. I would also be
most grateful if anyone could tell me more about either of the
two expressions quoted above, original sources or specific references
would be most highly appreciated.
