Yikes. I just grabbed it from wildwinds. I will check the text there to see if it's noted. If not, I will send Dane a note.
This is all very helpful. Thanks to all for posting. Yes, I would like a hardcopy to sit on University shelves, but I want to be a good steward of...
In a gesture of benevolent self-interest, I have built a near-complete collection of RIC at my university library by requesting one volume a year....
@Curtisimo, that pinecone is one of the few remaining connections to the Old St. Peter's. Old line drawings show it as part of an atrium fountain...
Dante references this very pine cone in Inferno 31, comparing the face of the giant Nimrod to the size of this cone. Nice to gaze upon the very...

I tend to think of CNG as a place to consult for higher end coins. When I began, and to some extent today, most of my purchases were $60 or less,...

Great detail on that Probus, esp the reverse!
[ATTACH] So after looking at this grapheme every possible way, I think Martin's and @zumbly 's reading is the only logical one. The letter is an...
