On the eve of the 21st century it is essential that historians
seize the latest technology to communicate the results of their
research to colleagues and the general reading public.

<ONLINE MODERN HISTORY REVIEW>, a refereed journal published in an
electronic format, is designed to satisfy the needs of the modern
scholar who wants convenient and immediate access to the latest
historical research.

The <REVIEW> is published in an electronic format (MS-DOS -- 3 1/2" and

Sample text:+1+

By canon law the crucial ingredient for a legitimate
marriage was the exchange of immediate, present consent
to marry (<verba de presenti>). Mere words of betrothal
-- the promise to marry, that is, to consent in the
future (<verba de futuro>) -- did not make a marriage,
though some canonists held that <verba de futuro>
followed by sexual intercourse (as consummation) amounted
to valid marriage. The ring was also important.
According to the Franciscan preacher, Bernardino da Siena
(1380-1444), a promise of marriage that was accompanied
by a ring and consummated constituted an indissoluble
marriage.+33+

<University of Chicago Readings in Western Civilization>, vol. 5,
<The Renaissance>, ed. Eric Cochrane and Julius Kirshner (Chicago,
1986), p. 126. On the symbolism of the ring in Florentine
marriages, see Christiane Klapisch-Zuber, "The Griselda Complex:
Dowry and Marriage Gifts in the Quattrocento," in her
