I would love to have a copy of the sheep article.  Is the dyeing
manual useful to someone who does not speak Italian?

Does anyone have any information on how close any modern
breeds are to medieval breeds?  I mean, they may be descended
from medieval breeds and have the same name, but is there any
way to tell if they have changed much, what with hundreds of years
of breeding and environmental changes from being moved to a new
continent?
