Dear list members, It is that time of year again at which the Decameron Web greatly increases in size. I would like to invite you to visit the site and to give us your impressions. Conceived as a didactic experiment in the teaching of the Decameron, the web has now received over 10,000 hits and continues to grow steadily. We are dedicated to the constant improvement of the site; do not hesitate to let us know what works and what's missing. We actively encourage the use of the web in courses and wholeheartedly welcome contributions of all sorts. The URL: http://www.brown.edu/Departments/Italian_Studies/dweb/dweb.shtml We recently added a manual-update newsgroup in which we hope to foster and facilitate the exchange of ideas and information. Please feel free to post to it any Boccaccio-related announcements or queries. Best wishes for the holiday season, Michael Papio Italian Studies Brown University [log in to unmask] [log in to unmask] %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
