[ANSTHRLD] books

[francis.schalles at ttuhsc.edu]

Ave!

I will be traveling to Kiev Ukraine next April for 2 weeks. If
you can identify any books of reference I will see if they can be
obtained. I have a contact in Kiev that may be able to help.
Books in the Former Soviet Union are in short supply
and pre Soviet documentation is even rarer yet.

It should be emphasized that Withycombe is not perfect.  March 2005 LoAR:

      Withycombe, A Dictionary of English Christian Names, cites
      Ariane as the French form of this name. However, undated
      non-English forms in this work are invariably modern.

January 2005 LoAR:

      Unless Withycombe provides a date or period for a particular
      form, the form is generally modern.

September 2004 LoAR:

      The given name is documented from Withycombe, which is not a
      reliable source for non-English names.

While it's good to have such a source, the demand is low enough that
it's not as critical as northwestern European sources (Norse, English,
Gaelics).
