Subject: Query re Piccolomini
I am working on Aeneas Sylvius Piccolomini's _Historia de duobus
amantibus_. Most scholars agree that it is a _roman a clef_ in which
classical names (e.g., Lucretia, Euryalus, Menelaus, Nissus, Achates)
refer to historical persons in Siena in 1432-33. However, one name,
Catharina Petrusia, seems to be an exception, and this could be
significant for my research. Does anyone know how I could find out whether
a Petrusia family existed in 15th century Siena (short of going there
myself), and of course, more particularly a Catharina Petrusia? Please
reply to me privately. Thanks.

Does anyone know of a Listserv that deals regularly with postcolonial
literature and related topics?
