Dear colleagues and friends,
In Candide tradition, Lisbon stands in for earthshaking upheavals.
At least, I haven't before encountered
conferences conducted on the net. While I
wouldn't mind being in Lisbon in the flesh in
this springtime, I do find myself as contributor
of a lecture to their second virtual congress.
And since I haven't seen this broadcast on our
list yet, here is their latest announcement of
the event, for the benefit of you all.
Best wishes, Hans.
The second virtual congress of RLD, on Textual
Editing, begins next Monday, 16th of April. Soon,
you will be able to know the announced lectures
and papers

, as well as to participate in the discussion.
In the same day, it will be inaugurated the
virtual exhibition Masterpieces of the World
Literature. The Beginning

. Be prepared for a travel by the intimacy of
literature, from the 20th century B.C. to the
20th century A.D.; from Spain to Portugal,
crossing Greece, Poland, Israel, China, Japan, Chile, Brazil etc.
The music by Mário Laginha and Maria João will
keep you company while you'll observe the writing
in plank of clay of Gilgamesh or many versions of
a poem of Eugénio de Andrade; the writing of the
Confucius's Analects or that of the Leopardi's
poems etc. It will also be a precious opportunity
to observe the palimpsest involving the
Confessions of St. Augustine and Pliny's Natural History.
