medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Christopher, you and those diacriticals have given me my laugh for the day. I too have often wondered what purpose they served. Please do send me a pdf of the article to enjoy in the privacy of my own home. Thanks for the fun.

turns out that the original title was not as pithy, but more informative:
“Towards a History of Diacritics in Latin: Notes on the function, origins, and obsolescence of the accentuation system of Latin in 16th- and 17thcentury printed texts”
haven't read it yet, but it may be as erudite a piece of word as it sounds.
more than i ever wanted to know about these pesky distractions.
"ignore them"
YES!
i have extracted it from the volume of the Congress' proceedings and can send a .pdf copy to anyone who would like to see it.
thanks again, James.
