I can't find the address for the moment, but I will look it up and send it on. A word of caution: there were three elementary spelling mistakes in the brief (English) editorial matter introducing the thing. This does not give one much confidence in their ability to spell Latin. Actually I only used the thing once or twice, because the spellings differed very much from what one would regard as the norm. For example, it could not find Eva. I tried Heva, as this spelling is often used, but still drew a blank. So I called up the appropriate verses and found the spelling Hava. I do not know if this is a mis-spelling, or if the lady's name is so spelled in the edition they have used. But as they do not specify which edition they have used, I have no way of telling. It is very easy in this country to buy a hardback copy of the Vulgate, and it costs nothing like $90. I dare say you could pick one up for about $10. Why not order it from Blackwells?
