Dear All,

My thesis is _nearly_ at submission.  For those of you who are interested,
the draft is at
http://www-users.york.ac.uk/~prar100/<http://www-users.york.ac.uk/%7Eprar100/>

I am looking for three things ....

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.

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.

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)?

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.

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.

Cheers,

Pat

Congratulations on having come this far, Pat! The project looks great so
far.

I hope you'll find the needed help.

In the meantime I for one will be cheering you on!
