    Hi Joi:

    Have you any idea what books are used in Cuban universities as standard works on Roman history or Roman philosophy? Or Cuban scholars noteworthy in ancient Roman stuff? I don't remember what your field of study is, so I don't know if these questions are totally out of your range of experience or not.

    Thanks for any help you can give.

    Best wishes,
    Janko

    Hi Janko:

    My fields of knowledge are not connected with the fields you are enquiring, but I know that Mommsen (I hope I spelled it right) is widely used.

    My I ask what your specific interest in these fields is?

    I happen to know some of the most important Cuban scholars in law, including one who told me his thesis dealt with Roman Law and Democracy combined (or something like that), so I may ask. However, I'd need to ask them specific questions, as I know very litle on these subjects.

    Hope this helps,

    Good luck,


    Joi

    Hi Joi!

    You spelled the evil poison parrot of 19th century German bourgeois caesarism and corrupt teleological historiography exactly right. I HATE THE LITTLE BASTARD!

    I am a passionate Ciceronian (ergo my hatred of M******) with a strong interest in his philosophical works and also in philosophy and influence of Roman law generally.

    Thanks very much for spotting this thread. If you do find out anything else, please let me know. I am stuck here in a remote rural area far from really good library collections of appropriate materials in Spanish. Contributions from Spain itself are sparse, though often of superb quality, and I would really like to get a look at scholarship from Cuba. Around here everything is pretty much English, French, or German. I have squeezed all the juice out of the libraries around here. Nothing left but the pits.

    Don't mind me about M******. I just hate him, that's all.

    I enormously appreciate your help (even more than I hate M******).

    Multumesc foarte mult/Muchas gracias,

    Janko Furioso
