Could anyone give me information on acquiring an e-text of Jean-Jacques
Rousseau's _La Nouvelle Heloise_, in French, any edition?

While a disk copy would be nice, an ascii text, possibly transmitted by
e-mail, would do just as well. Formatting and accents are no
object.

Subject: DISTANCE LEARNING


Does anyone know of a legitimate Ph.D program in Computer Science that
is offered online (or at least primarily online with reasonable residency
requirements?). The potential for distance learning is incredible, but
there are some really sticky issues of credibility. Are there any major
Universities that have dealt with some of these issues. I am not interested
in buying a degree, but at age 31 with a good solid position and 3 kids,
I'm not interested in picking up and moving to further my education! I am
currently the token humanist on the computer science staff and would really
like to do some serious work in applied theory of CS.
Are there any good classes offered anywhere not leading to a degree?

PS Our little earthquake has left most things intact here in the Upland
area, but if you have tried to E-Mail anyone in the Claremont, Pomona
area and have been unsuccessful, try again. Several of us sustained
hardware damage from the initial tremor and there have been a nasty
series of aftershocks. phone service was only out for one day, but
many pieces of hardware were bounced around quite a bit!!!!
(make that "has been...." these editors are not worth the trouble of
going back!! 8-)

Subject: Auerbach's FIGURA

One of my students is planning to incorporate a french translation of
Auerbach' s essay entitled "Figura" in his dissertation. An english
translation was published by Univ. of Minnesota Press years ago in a
collection of Auerbach's articles. But the original german text
appeared during the war in a journal entitled Neue Dante Studien,
published in (I believe) Ankara. Which means that it is not exactly
easy to locate a copy of it. Would anyone know whether there was any
republication of the german essay in some form or other? If not, would
anyone happen to have a xerox copy ot the text? Viele Danke|

[According to our online catalogue, the Pontifical Institute of
Mediaeval Studies, Toronto, has a copy of Erich Auerbach, _Neue
Dantestudien_ (Istanbul, 1944), but since I do not enjoy the privilege
of access to the Institute's library, I was not able to find out what's
between the covers. I will certainly submit myself to the requisite
ordeals and obtain a copy of `Figura' auf Deutsch when time allows -- I,
too, am interested in the German original of this crucial essay -- but
perhaps some other Humanist has it nearer at hand and does not have to
face the Symplegades to get it. --W.M.]

Does anyone know what's out there in the way of tutorials, tips,
usage notes, etc. for Nota Bene's Text-Base feature? (The Tutorial
included with NB doesn't deal with the Text-Base). If anyone is aware
of the existence of any such materials, I'd like to know.
Many thanks,
