Greetings,
I taught the class at a local (Meridian) event but I will also be
teaching it at Gulf Wars (along with a class on 12th Century Norman
Sicily Food). If you are going to be there, pray do attend.

If not, I have put all of the information up on my website. The link
to the actual class handout is here:

And much more information can be found here:

I have compiled all of the data onto Excel spreadsheets to try and
analyse what I have collected so far. I am going to try and figure out
how to put it into something like Access so that it can be easily
search able. The spreadsheets probably only make sense to me - but if
anyone is crazy enough to want to look at them - I will see what I can
do.

To date I have gone through 15 - 17 manuscripts and hope to do more. I
hope that this is of some interest to others. And if others are
pursuing similar lines of inquiry I would love to see what you have
come up with!

Glad Tidings,
Serena da Riva
