Sections 41 and 42 are pl ok. Once again the one little thing I thought might be a mistake, turned out to be in keeping with the text. I thought "prince of Christendom" might ought to have been in the plural, meaning the several kings in Europe, but singular it is, apparently meaning the H...

Yes. I'm still sometimes amazed that I actually live here, so even coming back from Paris isn't a huge change in historic and artistic interest of my surroundings. I looked up the cannon and found that it was designed and built by a man named Orban (or Urban) whose nationality is disputed, probably ...

Section 40 is pl ok. Interesting to get into the details of things I knew the broad brush strokes of. During the pandemic I taught private English lessons for which a taxi took me almost every morning for a ride along the western land walls of Constantinople and past Edirne (Adrianople) gate where M...

Section 1 is pl ok. Thank you, Elijah.

Sections 36 through 39 are pl ok. In the Florentine setting I'm beginning to feel a bit more on familiar ground, at least from art history (Brunelleschi) and I once was somewhat knowledgeable about the rise of the Medici from a course on the Renaissance and Reformation many years ago.

Section 01 is pl ok. Thank you, Elijah.

Just to let all know, I’m traveling and will get back to proof listening next week.

Sections 34 and 35 are pl ok. Back in Istanbul for the moment and quelle semaine! I got flustered going through security check at Charles Degaulle airport on the one stop and flight change journey home from Northumberland and left my under the clothing waist bag with my Turkish residence permit card...

Section 33 is pl ok. Do you think it is just me or is it true that at least modern English uses "further" not "farther" before a noun to mean additional? Hearing "Traversari in vain endeavored to get farther lnstructions..." sent me to check the text, and sure enough th...

Section 24 is pl ok. Thank you. , Claire.

Larry, somehow I'm able to move the mw now on the phone. Guess I just needed to acquire the right touch. Home and back on the laptop in a week.

Are you in Scotland?

Almost. I'm in Northumberland, my favorite place on earth along the city of Durham that I'll get to next week.

Section 32 is pl ok. I've long thought celibacy of clergy had more to do with preserving church lands and other wealth than with spiritual shepherding of the flock, though some few might be called to undistracted service like St. Paul's. Little surprise that concubinage abounded then and worse thing...

Thanks, Pamela.

Thanks, Larry.

Section 31 is pl ok. I am traveling with only my phone and can't get to the change status function in the mw. I'll mark those after my return second week of January unless you care to mark them sooner.

Merry Christmas and happy new year.
