Zed, You are one of the interesting people I would like to meet someday. I will eventually get in touch. My job (among other distractons) is sapping me right now, but I hope to get back to real life by mid-November. Likewise I can be reached jacfoxy at gmail dot com.

I would add Jacob Burckhardt's The Civilization of the Renaissance in Italy to the book list. It appears to be a glaring omission.

This was one of my favorite college texts. I'm really disappointed that I'd forgotten about it until your comment. Thanks.

Thanks. BTW, Caesar's _The Gallic Wars_ is available online from MIT: http://classics.mit.edu/Caesar/gallic.html
