Does anyone know anything more about Acephalus? I'd be interested to know if anything has been written or reserached on this. There are references in a biography I read of Bataille but nothing concrete. I know that we mentioned this briefly on the first incarnation of the list but sadly the archives were deleted as part of its demise (Ben from Caduceus, that's a very belated answer to a query you sent to me a month or so ago ... Sorry for the delay Ben). Just a reminder for new list members to introduce themselves should they so wish.
