Re: Latin abbreviations (in VMS?)

["Ronald L. Carter" <rcarter@xxxxxxxxx>]

Well, I (long from posting, but not from lurking) was
one of the people that has been looking at the concept
that there is a form of Latin abbreviations used in the
VMs; the main book I looked at was:

Adriano Cappelli
The Elements of Abbreviation in Medieval Latin Paleography.
Lawrence, Kan: University of Kansas Library, 1982.

It would be interesting to have Mr. Cappelli take a look
at the VMs.  I ( a few years ago now...) did place a call
to an associate of Mr. Cappelli and at that time he was on
sabbatical.  Never followed up.

As for an online resources, I can check further; searching
http://www.alltheweb.com with the keywords of:

Abbreviation Medieval Latin Paleography

returned some 76 hits, so maybe there is something out there.

Dear all,
I'm just wading through the past mailing lists and stumbled over some latin
abbreviations vs. VMS cipher.
Does anybody know of an online resource to a list of such latin abbr. ?
(I found a program acting as a dictionary, but it will cost 48 EUR, to much
for just curious evaluation).
Thanx
Claus
