Subject: License study opportunities in France?

The daughter of a friend is graduating this spring with a French major
from a respectable mid-Western state university. Thanks to her French
father and several summers spent in Besancon, her mastery of French
language and culture is markedly greater than one might otherwise expect
of a U.S. undergraduate. She is interested in pursuing the License
in France, perhaps in order to teach English in France.
Any suggestions regarding programs, contact persons, etc. would be
most appreciated.
Thanks in advance, and best wishes to all for the new year.

Subject: 16th C French Law

I'm doing some work on the Huguenots and need some precise technical
information. In 16th century French Law, were *lettres de cachet*
and *letters patent* synonymous? If not, could someone direct me to
a succinct discussion of the differences?
Thanks

Subject: German to English translator.


I am interested in obtaining a computer program to assist translation from
German to English. I am not fluent in German but know it sufficiently well to
do the necessary polishing-up. It has been hard to get demonstrations or even
information in Australia. From the special issue of Byte January 1993 I
requested information from several advertisers but received no answers.
I have seen Power Translator (Globalink) demonstrated. In its basic
version the facility to see alternative translations for given words while
working on the translation has been disabled - one can see them only later
from the dictionary - but the professional version increases the cost from
$A500 to $A1500 (about 30% less in $US). I would be willing to spend
something from my own pocket in that approximate range. Can any readers
provide advice on this program or others?

Nigel Nettheim.

Subject: Erasmus

Dear Colleagues,
A medal of Erasmus executed by Quentin Metsys in 1519 bears the
following inscription in Greek: "thn kreittw ta suggrammata deiksei," or
literally "the writings show the better portrait." This inscription is
later reproduced in Albrecht Duerer's engraving of Erasmus (1526). My
question is this: where does this "devise" comme from?
Many thanks.
Sincerely,
Marc Bizer

Subject: General inquirer: who knows it?

I'd like to know if there is any Humanist-er that did ever use the General Inqu
irer; if anyone knows of recent works in humanities done with the G.I.; any opi
nion about its use in the humanities.

Could you be so kind as to CC: your message directly to me?

Many many thanks to anyone will help.

Maurizio

Greetings --

Does anyone have any experience with or news about "Storyspace Reader" by
Eastgate Systems, Civilized Software?

Alternatively, any ideas on Mac software that lets you display several
versions of the a work simultaneously so that students can see how an author
went through revisions on the way to final product.

Thanks, in advance.

To the editors (for posting):

Does anyone know of any internet accessible Ficino texts (in Latin)? Any
information would be greatly appreciated.

Subject: Historical Maps

I've had a number of inquiries recently from faculty in the history
department about the availability of on-line maps for teaching and research.

I'd be very grateful if anyone knows of sources of maps for this purpose.
These don't have to be gratis; we'd be willing to pay fees for their use.

Please send any information directly to me

malcolm.brown@dartmouth.edu

and I'll summarize the responses back to Humanist. This way will cut down a
bit on the volume on Humanist.

with many thanks!
