I've been taking an extended holiday, so I am only today back at the Old Firm (so to speak), which several interesting message to pass on from PERFORM or FICINO. I hope you all had a pleasant Christmas and New Year break. I have just found out that, at this year's meeting of the Mediaeval Academy (to be held here in Toronto), Professor John Baldwin will give an address on the Jongleur in 12th (I think) century Provence. Professor Baldwin's book, now over 20 years old, _Masters, Princes, and Merchants_, is an exemplary historical study of exegetes/theologians in their cultural context (Peter the Chanter and his circle) about which I think it is impossible to say too much good. I am sure his talk will be worthwhile.
