<br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
Dear All,</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
My thesis is _nearly_ at submission. For those of you who are interested, the draft is at </span><a style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" href="http://www-users.york.ac.uk/%7Eprar100/" target="_blank">http://www-users.york.ac.uk/~prar100/</a><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
I am looking for three things ....</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
Each section is introduced with a little quotation. Mostly, these are
Dutch, or in English but relating to Lowlands. For example, I use
Washington Irving's "Whenever, therefore, he happened upon a genuine
Dutch family, snugly shut up in its low-roofed farmhouse, under a
spreading sycamore, he looked upon it as a little clasped volume of
black-letter, and studied it with the zeal of a book-worm" as an
introduction to the use of wall-anchors (muurankers) in letter and
number forms.</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
I am missing two quotations! I need something to introduce medieval
building training practices, and I need something better than I've got
already to introduce the typology of wall anchors.</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
So, do you know a poem or song or piece of prose that talks about
learning/craft transmission (preferably from the middle ages), or
something that talks about diversity or decoration (can be any period,
and any language, with a Lowlands connection)?</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
Thirdly, I want to employ someone to proof-read the bibliography. I am
dyslexic, and my Dutch is Very Very Bad. I don't expect the
proofreader to do more that say 'this entry needs checking' - checking
is up to me! If you are interested in 2 or 3 hours work, spotting
possible typos in a bibliography, please drop me a line off-list. I
will pay by cheque or bank transfer (UK) or paypal if not UK.</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
If everything goes to plan, I submit by 30th June, am viva'd late
September or early October, and am all finished by Christmas ... at
which point I become my own woman again, and properly contribute to
this list.</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
Cheers,</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
Pat</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">

It may look messy now ...</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
... but just you come back in 500 years time (T. Pratchett).</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">----------</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
