Subject: Bible de Geneve

March 3, 1993

Further to earlier queries, I'd like to ask whether colleagues can help me
with a contactable location for an early copy of the Bible de Geneve.

The anonymous author of the 18C ms. on which I'm working refers to the
'Bible of 1561', and I assume he means the Geneva Bible.

There are two passages I need to check:

MATTHEW 19.23-24. Here, my author says, 'chameau' was replaced with
'cable'.

LUKE 21.21. My author claims to be quoting from the Geneva Bible's
commentary on this verse. I'd like to know what changes, if any, he has
made:

'Il arriva par un terrible jugement de Dieu que tous les Juifs firent alors
le contraire de ce que Jesus leur dit ici, puisqu'ils se rendirent de tous
cotes a Jerusalem, et qu'il semblait que la divine justice les poursuivit
pour les reunir en un seul lieu, et les sacrifier tous ensemble a la
vengeance.'

Again, antipodean salutations.

Does anyone have or no of the existence of an
electronic transcription of Casiodoro de la Reina's
Spanish translation of the Bible?

Many thanks,

Subject: French News Wire Feed Query


I am looking for samples of any French news wire feeds,
preferably European, for lingusitic research. I have
a large sample of AP newswire and want something similiar
for French. Thanks.

I should like to ask readers of this list if they know of the
availability of any electronic texts of Descartes' work in the
original languages. I am aware of the texts of ELEMENTA, PRINCIPIA and
REGULAE being available in Latin from Penn (for details, see the list
of Electronic Texts in Philosophy on the Humanist fileserver), but
would like to know if others are available. Please reply directly to
me. Thanks for your help.

Subject: Louis XIV's ritual

A colleague of mine, Noelene Bloomfield, has asked me if I would put the
following question to members of Humanist:
Does anyone know why, according to the historian J. Levron, Louis
XIV's valet placed several drops of "esprit-de-vin" (ethyl alchohol) on the
King's hands before the latter crossed himself with Holy Water, as part of
his morning ritual?
With thanks, in advance, for any suggestions. Tim Unwin.
