From
the Editor
Greetings!
Thank you for keeping me updated on the important scholarly work you have
been doing. Among other things, do let me know if you have developed any
online resources (translations, bibliographies, etc.) that you think would
be of use to other members of the Society. If you can send along the web
addresses and brief descriptions of them to me, I would be happy to add
these references to the newsletter.
If you haven’t
yet paid your annual dues, please send them to our Secretary-Treasurer,
Jeremiah Hackett, at the following address:

Annual Dues
Schedule: regular membership: $10; contributing membership: $15 or more;
associate membership: $5; student membership:$5; lifetime membership:

consider our lifetime membership category!
Finally,
and most importantly, James Long recently sent a letter which has been
endorsed by the members of the Society’s Executive Committee, protesting
the sale at auction of the manuscript holdings in the Badische Landesbibliothek
in Karlsruhe. Letters protesting this move have been coming from the international
scholarly community, and the Executive Committee thought it appropriate
that we add our voices. Our letter follows:
Your Excellency:
The members of the executive committee of the Society for Medieval and
Renaissance Philosophy deplore the sale at auction of the collection
of approximately 3,500 manuscripts in the Badische Landesbiblilothek
in Karlsruhe. The recovery of our common intellectual heritage is contingent
on the scientific editing of codices preserving that legacy. The dispersal
of the rich collection at Karlsruhe would mean that these manuscripts
would no longer be accessible to scholars of the Middle Ages and Renaissance,
an outcome we as a group deplore. By
one recent estimate about 40% of Germany's manuscript holdings were
destroyed in the last world war; she cannot afford to lose more.
As representatives
of the profession in North America we strongly urge that the
Parliament of Baden-Wuerttemberg reverse this tragic course of events.
Very sincerely
yours,
R. James Long
President,
Society for Medieval and Renaissance Philosophy
Members
are urged to write their own letters to the following address:
Herr Ministerpraesident G. H. Oettinger
Villa Reitzenstein
Richard-Wagner Strasse
D-70184 Stuttgart, Germany
Don’t
forget that we will be sponsoring sessions at the Eastern
APA in Washington and at Kalamazoo
this year. We welcome your attendance.
Best wishes
for the fall semester and beyond,
