Dear Friends, Thanks to everyone who responded to my request concerning the German text surrounding the image of the man using his hand as a sundial. The Web page received 44 hits in 24 hours.
Special mention to Art Carlson and George McDowell who submitted translations in rhyme. I was also intrigued by Mario Arnaldi's reference to 'feet sundials'. The first three translations I received have been put on-line on a new Web page. A draft of the final version of the prospective page is also accessible, which includes the graphics in question. Based on the translations, some technical problems with this system of time-telling have arisen. I have brought these up on the page. Please take a look. http://www.shadow.net/~bobt/handdial/translat.htm * Please also note: I have plenty of space on my server, and if any member of this list would like to put information (graphics, anything similar to this discussion, or whatever) on the Web for access to all; I would be happy to provide space and assistance in putting the material onto pages. First e-mail me and tell me what you have, then we can arrange for you to send the material. I will make up the pages, but if you can write HTML, so much the better. Files for download are also an option. All I ask is that the material be on-line *before* any reference is made to them in the list. Please use the following e-mail address, which is not the one I use for the mailing list: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Best regards, Bob Terwilliger http://www.shadow.net/~bobt
