<<< Stefan and I timed it right! The day he published it online, I
received
the official universal copywrite of my translation from Castellan to
English of Fernando de la Granja Santa Maria's published part of
Fadalat, translated into Castellan from Hispano-Arabic. We are pleased.
Every copywrite is like giving birth to a dinasour. >>>
I was going to announce this on the list, even before it went out in
my monthly article, but it looks like Suey beat me to it.
Anyway, her translation is available in the FOOD-DOCUMENTS section as:
Fadalat-art (58K) 12/ 4/07 "Culinary Abundance With Recipes
with
Medieval Variations".

Unfortunately, I currently have a problem with the special characters
in this file. These are the characters with things like the double
dots over them or various accent marks and such. I often change the
font that someone sends me a file in to Courier for consistency with
other files. However in this case to avoid losing these special
characters I used the font that Suey did, which was, I believe, Times-
Roman. The Word file (in RTF format) has no problems, nor does the
HTML after I run it through my processing program and looking at it
with my browser at home. However when that exact, same file is
uploaded to the website the special characters don't show up and get
replaced with question marks and such.
I suspect this is because of something I'm doing or have set or not
done or not set on my web page. I will be trying to figure this out
and fix it as I can. I'm about to have to go into job search mode
again though, so that may limit my time. Anyway, if anyone has some
experience with this or ideas, please let me know. Fixing this on
Suey's file will likely fix many other files in the Florilegium,
which I thought just had missing characters in the font I was using,
but apparently not.
