Hi Dana, Nick and all,
The French "vacation time" is something very special; very much different from Ferien or even Vacances...;-)
Anyway I am afraid I am back and congratulations for these findings; They remind me of one of Deng Xiao Ping's (sorry for my pidgchinese even if it is better than my pidgvoynichenglish ) favourite sayings :
Black or white, please my cat brings me back some mice.
Which after all Wilfrid could have agreed with. Otherwise I am interested too with the motto of this editor:
dissimilivm infida societas
It could perhaps be interpreted in different manners: Santa Fe Society? Why dissimilium?
Of course the fact that Dante was published by him is exciting, not to speak of Marco Polo.;-)
And now about one hundred mails left...cheers!
