Dear All, Thanks to all who contributed to fascinating debate on appropriate Roman numerals for the Anno Domini 1999. For the colophon I opted for MIM, being just delighted at learning of support from Latinists in the Vatican. The book in question is entitled " One Hundred and Twenty-five Manuscripts" being the catalogue of the Bergendal Collection of Mediaeval Manuscripts, now ready for publication. I have laboured over it for the past many years. This then is to convey my most grateful thanks to all members of the List throughout the world who helped so generously whenever I begged for assistance. As far as private collections go there is none larger in the Americas. There are possibly four as large in Europe. The Curator, (Joe Pope) %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
