Dear all
A rainy British summer has forced me, screaming and kicking, to supply a
brace of e-texts, for those of you who have an interest in such things
(which, for all I know, is precisely none of you).
You can now have for your very own (and fiddle with) Godfrey of
Winchester's (Godefridus Prior, pseudo-Martial, Martialis Coccus')
Epigrams by visiting:
<http://freespace.virgin.net/angus.graham/Godfrey.htm>
If the jollity of his epigrams does not delight you, try something drier
by Peter Alfonsi (_Disciplina Clericalis_: read and be warned!) at:
<http://freespace.virgin.net/angus.graham/Alfonsi.htm>
And then, should that not be dry enough for all tastes, who can beat
Cassiodorus? You can get book 1 of his _Variae_ (if you wish to really
spoil what is left of your summer) at:
<http://freespace.virgin.net/angus.graham/Cassiodorus.htm>
Book 2 is now underway, and the rest will come when I feel like it.
The true flagellants among you will be delighted to learn that Albertano
(who I bang on about repeatedly) is still out there, at:
<http://freespace.virgin.net/angus.graham/Albertano.htm>
If all of this is of no interest at all, by all means flame me. Should,
however, any list-member be at all interested and lets me know this,
on-list or off, then I shall interrupt your bandwidth with further
announcements (e.g. Cassiodorus: the rest) as cats, teaching and
vigorous loafing permit -- I set myself no timetable as I am doing this
as a hobby. I have a few more things up my sleeve, but shall remain
atypically silent until I have something concrete to present to you.
Anyone out there got out-of-copyright e-texts they've not shared yet?
Anyone out there want to pay me for this? Drop me a note off-list and we
can talk!
Angus Graham, Sultanate of Oman
(43 centigrade today -- what better than to stop in and scan a little
more?)
