Dear HUMANIST readers,

Does anyone have or know of an electronic text of Jonathan Swift's

muchly. Please reply to the address below.

Yours,

26th February 1993

Dear Colleagues:

Could anyone please provide help or advice re the following queries?

(1) Where could I find the 1646 and 1698 editions of the Bible de Louvain?

(a) According to the anonymous author of an 18th-century French
clandestine pamphlet, it is stated in these bibles that the Spirit had, to
to speak, dictated the Scriptures to the authors of the sacred books, even
down to the spelling.
(b) I also need to look, in both editions, at the text (translation),
notes and commentary on the following passages: Daniel 9.2, Matthew
19.16-17, Mark 10.17, Luke 18.18-19.
(c) If a location for the 1698 edition can be found, I would write to
request a photocopy of volume 1 page 136.

(2) The same writer states: 'several rabbis believed that the earthly
paradise was in Jud a'. Does anyone recognize this, and if so, could they
very kindly give me a reference, or source to follow up?

(3) According to the same author, it is a tenet of Christian doctrine that
'the reward of the righteous is the presence and the contemplation of God'?
Here again, I'd be most grateful for chapter and verse (could it possibly
be Pascal?)

(4) Among pseudo-Messiahs after the time of Jesus, this same author
mentions OCCOLAMPADE and ZUINGLE (possibly misspelt)? Can someone help to
trace these two?

(5) Much easier (!): what is the equivalent abbreviation in French of the
English " ff." (following pages)

(6) I'd very much like to know if there is an e-mail address for Mrs
Bettye Chambers, of NW Washington DC, to whom, at the suggestion of Prof.
J.-F. Gilmont, I should like to write.

Greetings from 'down under'!

This is a sort of PS to my earlier queries (my grateful thanks to those who
have answered already!).

(1) I'd be very grateful to know e-mail addresses of any bulletin boards
devoted to BIBLE STUDIES and to EDITING TEXTS.

(2) Does anyone happen to know the source for the idea (erroneous) that
the Book of Revelation (AD95) was intended as an attack on the
pseudo-Messiah Bar-Kocheba, leader of the second Jewish rebellion (AD
131-135) ?

Does anyone know of an e-version of rhyming dictionary? The request is from a
colleague who also likes to write songs in his spare time. (Lucky him that he
should have some spare time!)
