Subject: Lakota Language Collections

Marquette University in Milwaukee, Wisconsin is a repository
for information on the Lakota (Sioux) language and religion. For
language, there are the grammar and vocabulary notes of Eugene
Buechel,S.J. and the language education material produced by Reyez
Hernandez and William Stolzman, S.J. Both bodies of material are part
of the Holy Rosary/Red Cloud Indian School Records. These include the
records of medicine men and clergy meetings chaired by Stolzman which
are found in the St. Francis Mission Records held in the Marquette
University Special Collections and University Archives Department. The
resident expert at Marquette is Mark Thiel.

A recent deposit to the records from the Holy Rosary Mission
includes 60 audio tapes with descriptive literature made at Pine Ridge
Reservation for the purpose of assisting Jesuits in the work with the
native peoples.

Subject: Black Orpheus query

Greetings. In the film "Black Orpheus" one of the little boys gives
Eurydice a home-made charm of some sort on a necklace. Does anybody
know what sort of charm it is? Reply privately, if you wish. Thanks.

Subject: Re: The Wild Man in Literature
 
 
 
 
  I have a colleague who has written a study of the Wild Man in literature, from
  the Middle Ages to the 20th century.  Would any of the members have an idea of
  where he might submit it for publication?
 
    He sent it to one publisher who said it was being read when, in
  fact, it was lying under a stack somewhere.  So he lost ten months.  O
  tempora! O mores!
  Please reply to me.

Subject: Benedetto Croce in machine readable form?
 
 
A colleague of mine is doing research on the philosophical, critical, and
esthetical works of Benedetto Croce. An electronic version of these texts
would be of great value to her. Does anyone of the HUMANIST members know
whether these works are available in machine readable form?

I am interested in the conference in Vermont on April 3 and 4. However, since
I will not be able to attend, I was wondering if any of the papers will be
available in electronic form. If enough people are interested, perhaps someone
could post to this list after the conference, where papers would be found,
individually, or as a group. Thanks. Lucia.

Subject:      HOKUSAI PRINT
 
Many thanks to anyone who can help me locate a print or book illustration by
the Japanese artist Hokusai.  The design shows a man whose eyeballs are at
the end of stalks protruding from the man's head.  I need the name of the
picture (if there is one), the title of the book where it is found, and the
year of publication.

Subject: Italian corpora
 
Does anyone out there know of the existence and/or availability of on-line
corpora in Italian?  Preferably, the corpus would represent text from vary-
ing sources, similar to the Brown corpus in English, usinfg currrent
standard Italian.  However, any leads to any type of corpus in Italian
would be welcome.  Many thanks.

Subject: War as the locomotive of history.
 
I'm trying to locate a quote supposedly made by Karl Marx, about war as the
locomotive of history.  Does anyone have a specific citation for this?

Subject: electronic dictionary
 
 
Can anyone recommend a good electronic dictionary? I have a Mac Classic (2 MB
RAM) and use Microsoft Word. A few days ago I received a brochure for the
_American Heritage Dictionary_, which sounded fine, but can anyone speak from
experience? Is it perhaps best to stick to the printed kind?
