Subject: La corneille

Chers Participants,
Pour une etude sur Baif, je cherche des allusions a la fable de la
corneille dans les traites et prefaces francais de l'epoque. Dans sa
Deffence Du Bellay fait allusion a la metaphore en declarant que la langue
francaise "a besoing des ornementz & (s'il faut ainsi parler) des plumes
d'autruy." Cette occurrence constitue un rare exemple de l'emploi positif
de l'image - mais je pense plutot aux humanistes qui tenteraient de
decourager des imitateurs serviles en les traitant de corneilles. J'ai
cherche chez Peletier du Mans, mais je n'ai rien trouve. Est-ce que
quelqu'un a des idees?
Cordialement,
Marc Bizer

Subject: Mac fonts for unusual French

Dear Humanist participants,
I would like to faithfully quote a few passages from Jacques
Peletier du Mans' Art Poetique written using a spelling system invented by
the author. The problems in typing them on the Mac mainly involve the
letter "e": in additional to the regular French accents, I need to be able
to type an "e" with a slash through it, an "e" with a cedilla underneath,
and an "e" with both a cedilla underneath and a comma directly above it.
Can anyone suggest appropriate (and hopefully public-domain) screen and
printer fonts which would do the job?
Thanks for your help.
Sincerely,
Marc Bizer

My supervisor has a set of back issues of PMLA, virtually complete for the
years 1932-1990 (including bibliographies). He would like to donate these
volumes to some institution or organization.
