I would also like to hear about the availability of e-collections
of French magazines and journals. Could you share the info?
Many thanks

Subject: Quote source?

A friend without list access mentioned last night that he had recently
read something, but when he wanted to quote it, he couldn't find it.
He thought it was Greek. "For this even the gods cannot do: to make
undone what once was done."

Subject: Query re a cabinet owned by C'l Mazarin


The following is a query posted for a retired colleague who does not
do e-mail. Donald Sellstrom's query concerns a cabinet once belonging
to Cardinal Mazarin. In the introduction to his book on *Corneille,
Tasso and Modern Poetics*, he writes:

"The 1653 inventory of art objects and fine furniture belonging to
Cardinal Mazarin contains the description of some 22 cabinets. One of
these is said to have been decoreated with 'dix tableaux de
mignature' depicting Apollo and the nine Muses and with "les
portraits de deux poe`tes anciens, et deux modernes"... In all
probability this is the same cabinet as the one to which Charles
Perrault referred at the end of the [17th-C.] century in a
biographical article on Corneille (in *Les Hommes illustres qui ont
paru en France pendant ce sie`cle*):

Tout Paris a vu un cabinet de pierres de rapport fait a`
Florence, et dont on avait fait pre'sent au cardinal Marrin, ou`,
entre les divers ornements dont il es enrichi, on avait mis aux quatre
coins les me'dailles ou les portraits des quatre plus grands poe`tes
qui aient jamais paru dans le monde, savoir Home`re, Virgile, Le Tasse
et Corneille (iin Georges Mongre'dien, *Recueil des textes et des
documents du 17e sie`cle relatifs a` Corneille*, Paris 1972, p.356)."

Donald has been to the Muse'e des arts decoratifs in Paris, posed
queries there and elsewhere, but has not been able to locate the
cabinet. Would anyone have any suggestions of how to go about pursuing
this matter further? He would be most grateful indeed. I'll pass along
any suggestions. Please reply directly unless you feel your answer
might interest the List. (X-posted to BALZAC; C18-L; HUMANIST; FICINO;

Thank you.

Subject: Query about Dudley Pope
Dear friends,

I would like to know what, if any, books of the 'Ramage' series have been
written by the british best-sellers writer Dudley Pope, AFTER 'Ramage and
the Sarracens'.

Does anybody know?
