Please excuse my last ugly version of this message. The fact is, knowing
that a problem existed, I had taken the precaution of sending it first to
my wife [Mary Clayton] to see if the horrendous =20 =20 =20 =20 ....
developed. She sent it back and **wasn't** there when I received it and
sent it to Nahuat-l. That would seem to indicate that the spirits
inhabiting the umt.edu and indiana.edu servers interact in a curious and
whimsical way. Here is a clean copy (I hope, I hope, I hope):
I agree with Leonel's implicit enjoyment of Book 11 of the
Florentine Codex and Professor Dibble's explicit liking of it. The
vocabulary supplied below benefits from re-consultation with it,
harvesting the xochicualli of the years of labor invested by Professors
Dibble and Anderson.
