Well Stefan, it is in French, and it appears to be a scholarly work on a
text from 13th c. Villers/Brabant (near Belgium) called _Fleurs du
Paradis_ (Flowers of Paradise), in fact, I believe it is a doctoral
thesis. It seems to be a religious text- Cistercian. (Forgive me- I'm
really tired and still listening to NPR)

I suspect thins guy found you site because of the similarity in the
name. And most doctoral candidates are desperate to get their work out
there... But I rather suspect that it would be of little use to Jay
Random SCAdian, even if it was in English.
