Dear all, dear friends, Several years of unsuccessful worldwide academic job-hunt have forced me to reconsider my plans, and although I am not yet giving up these plans entirely, I nevertheless have responsibilities and obligations towards my family, which do not allow me to go on as before. Tomorrow morning I will take the train to Heidelberg, and if I can arrange for accomodation very quickly, from next week on I will work there for three months as a member of the web-team of one of our major scientific publishers (Springer Science). I don't know what will come afterwards, but my feeling is not that it will be a job in teaching and research. If possible I will try to stay co-owner of this list (and of Medieval-Religion as well) and will fulfill my small duties as such as best I can, but as I will need some time to reorganize my new life I recommend that in cases of urgency regarding the management of this list you put your trust rather in George than in me. In such cases, please direct your questions or complaints to <[log in to unmask]>, to make sure that you reach both of us at the same time and that the quicker of us can respond. The job in Heidelberg will only be temporary, but Heidelberg is one of the most lovely cities of my country, also close to the place (Schwetzingen) where as a little child I learned to walk and to speak, whereas Berlin was always a sort of exile to me where I did not really achieve very much. So please feel invited to share my good hopes for the future rather than my regrets of the past. Yours, Otfried ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Otfried Lieberknecht, Schoeneberger Str. 11, D-12163 Berlin tel: ++49 +30 8516675, fax: ++49 +89 6661792543, [log in to unmask] Homepage for Dante Studies: http://members.aol.com/lieberk/welcome.html Listowner of Italian-Studies: http://www.mailbase.ac.uk/lists/italian-studies/ Listowner of Medieval-Religion: http://www.mailbase.ac.uk/lists/medieval-religion/ New Homepage (under construction): http://www.lieberknecht.de ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
