Dear Sidneians, Spenserians, and fellow travellers, A medievalist colleague and I are both (separately) talking about early English food in couple of weeks at a colloquium sponsored by our Center for Medieval and Renaissance Studies. She asked me how to pronounce the first name of Gervase Markham, whether "jer-VASE" or "JAR-viss." I'm also planning to mention him, and while I've had "jer-VASE" in my head, I honestly don't know where I got this. Can any of you confirm or deny or offer suggestions? Many thanks, Hannibal -- Hannibal Hamlin Professor of English The Ohio State University Author of *The Bible in Shakespeare*, now available through all good bookshops, or direct from Oxford University Press at http://ukcatalogue.oup.com/product/9780199677610.do 164 West 17th Ave., 421 Denney Hall Columbus, OH 43210-1340 [log in to unmask] [log in to unmask]
