-- [ From: Andrzej Dabrowka * EMC.Ver #2.5.02 ] -- Speaking of Confraternities... I did some research on the confraternities and their cultural significance in the Netherlands before 1500. Everybody interested in this topic can read some of my articles which I've published on my home page (see below). I would be glad to hear your comments . -. Quando sagittari sagittaverunt papegay. Der Medienstreit im mittelniederl ändischen Theaterbetrieb. [discussion of the relations between different sorts of groups playing theatre, and of the 15th-c. terminology concerning the plays, players and theatre productions in the Netherlands; in the town accounts of Arnhem I've found a proof that the mention of playing theatre on the 'solre' in the Dutch Dordrecht, 1364 could have meant playing inside a building] -. De Neidhartspiele en het abel spel Vanden Winter ende vanden Somer op een solre te Arnhem rond 1400 opgevoerd? [about a possible date of production of the Neidhartspiele and one of the abele spelen in a house attic, solarium, in 1404; against E.Simon who says the Neidhartspiele were produced only on the markets] Available only in print is another study of mine, published in the Dutch journal De Nieuwe Taalgids 1995 LXXXVIII.4:289-306 -.

I would of course gratefully accept your publications on similar topics. My recent research (Habilitation) goes in a more general direction, begun with the above and the following: -.
