Dear Aryel
Thank you for that very useful information. Just before I received your
message, I wrote to Professor Hinnells, author of the article quoted. I
shall tell you what he says about it. Meanwhile, I shall be writing to the
Monasterie.
Once again many thanks. Where are you, geographically speaking?
Best Wishes.
Aidan
