Hello Not exactly what you are looking for, but I know that a church bell specialist who lives in Alsace (Strasbourg I think) was the subject of articles in the journal Dernieres Nouvelles d'Alsace, around Easter www.dna.fr I think his name is Olivier Tarozzi, but to be checked. DNA Strasbourg: 03 88 21 55 00 DNA Paris bureau: 01 53 04 21 49 I am sending you 2 Word doc from March 24 2008, on your private email: - "Carte campanaire de l'Alsace" (a list of old church bells in Alsace) - "Les bons offices de Charlemagne" (an article in which is said that Charlemagne imposed bells in churches in 801, and that Irish monks used small bells to get attention when they evangelized Alsace in the Middle Ages) - unfortunately I can't find another article called "Oreille d'airain" which talks about the expert, Olivier Tarozzi, if I am not mistaken. Check with DNA, there was a whole series of articles about bells. In any case, contact me if problems to get the info Michael Bross Dear list members, I am looking for elemental analysis of medieval bronze bells (from churches) in Western Europe. Could anyone provide me with references and/or data. I was told in particularly that the Sb content could decide the way the bell had to be hitten... thanks -- Merci d'envoyer UNE COPIE à mon adresse personnelle, [log in to unmask], la moitié des courriels ne me parviennent pas à la présente adresse David Bourgarit Responsable des études en métallurgie Centre de recherche et de restauration des musées de France tél:01 40 20 56 39 UMR 171 du CNRS Palais du Louvre - Porte des Lions 14 quai François MITTERRAND 75001 Paris
