I and my friend Partick Muir Scheible at University of Washington essayed
this. It was on Microfilm and I had to keep switching lesnes. It is all very
vague, as far as I remember. My copies of Microfilm were destoryed in a flood.
I wrote the British Library and was neber able to get more copies. There were
3 Slone MSS, and I have forgotten all the numbers. These are the ones we
loaded into a photogrpher enlarger and produced enlargements fropm which we
made photocopies as a cost effective measures. It is very hard to detect
anything that directly point to the VMS.

If there is an ETEXT I would be willing to try again.with more modern
technology. Dee and one must add Kelley clearly working with a pretty clear
text.inspite of Enochian and all that. But all that being said a a "try, try,
again..." might yet bear some fruite. Are there ETEXTS floating around.

Have Fun,
