But my name's still on the cover and Crawford's is not. How could that be? AJN>>>If Tim Crawford has some claim to authorship, then I'd certainly like to know what it is. I had no contact with Tim during the research and writing of the preface. And Crawford himself has told me, he made no direct contributions except suggesting to my co-editor some sources to examine. We'd already look at most of them, an in one instance, he caused Ward to make some mistakes by invoprectly citing a source. So Crawford's contribution was really negative. (It is actually one of the best pieces of work I have ever published. The concordances are actually _mainly_ mine. And I authored the complete preface text, with just some suggested sources from Ward. (I'll have to publish an update in one of our journals with information about who stole the manuscript and why. _I_ know who carried out the deed most foul. (Or maybe by stealing the manuscript they really saved it from the bombs.<g> Hmmm.) Arthur J. Ness. <>
