Dear JVK
That suggestion I made to you about
a title was intended as title of Philip Nikolayev's
new magazine, please vote for it.
Post Erminia, we are
(at poetryetc) a bit monocultural
linguistically.... Hence I suggest a new project.
Most difficult line I've worked on in Latin
is from Catullus 43, had nightmares of
difficulty over seven or so years with
decoctoris amica Formiani
can the classicists and everybody on the list
work at non-English translations of same,
deadline for these January 3000 AD.
An Italian translation and a French
would be particularly good. Hot tip,
the man from Formiae was Mamurra,
chief engineer of Caesar's army during
Gallic campaigns.
Slow thoughtful project, a bit related
to Ram's project. Best to all.
