Subject: Re: Columbus and the Templars Author: WallaceDeBruce [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 05:11:22 06/10/04 Thu In reply to: exa 's message, "Re: Columbus and the Templars" on 14:58:25 06/09/04 Wed My god! I had no idea that you had made a draft of the log boke. WELL DONE!! I will now copy that into my PDA for reading away from the computer. Thank you very much the work you have done. You found the book, analysed the linquistics and copied it for easier reading. And, I must add...reading the word document causes no damage to the book. Does your boke have shells on it? I know that you said it had no inserts, so I will copy them for you and send you the word versions. What have you found out about the publishing house? How old are they and how old is the book. I think it may be the work of carl maria seyppel. I am impressed with you enthusiasm and I am delighted that you now possess your own copy of the book. Sorry about the condition and the lack of inserts. I must admit a smuttering of disappointment when you told me how cheap it was. Perhaps it is not as valuable as I always believed. I still and always will, love it. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

On what is left of the front cover there are some tiny shells to the top left of 'My'. The "signatue" is almost nowhere to be seen, I had to look at the image you put up to know what it looked like. The X P is just visible on the bottom-left fragment. My version was so cheap I'd say because of the damage to the front cover (almost gone), blue biro marks on several pages, and no special inserts. And some sellers are very generous. For £20 I once got an incomplete 1836 edition of Cowper's Life and Works (6 out of 8 volumes, with damage to several). I'm keen to get the typed version corrected, and perhaps look at "dodgy" spellings in more detail, using original-spelling 15th-centruy texts. Feel free to email improvements to the draft. To make this easier, a plain text version of just the entries is here: http://www.geocities.com/exadversum/logbook.txt At the time of the postings I had a quick few searches on the author of the book, and found references to a faux-Egyptian work of his. You were right about the date of the work I believe (you told me details in Mirc chat, I have some of them saved). Nothing shown online about Rangette & Sons. This was the condition of the cover: http://www.geocities.com/exadversum/coverstamp.jpg [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
