Thanks to Julia Bolton Holloway for the reminder about Brunetto Latini and the
Italian connection in Arras in the mid-thirteenth century. I am looking into
it. Sadly, there is no evidence (at least from the holdings of the Bibliotheque
municipale d'Arras) that the city (or monastery of St-Vaast) kept up the
friendship. But I'd love to see this as a part of Adam's creativity. More anon.
