  This is sort of off-topic but I think it will be of interest to most 
of you.

I am pleased to announce the fourth edition of the Lingua Franca website.
Lingua Franca was a trade language which existed around the mediterranean
for centuries, and disappeared around 1900. Significant items were
extracted from Tunisian Judeo-Arabic sources, and the language was widely
used by Jews.

The fourth edition includes various corrections and new items:

* Transcript of a lecture by Prof. Roberto Rossetti on LF with valuable
  bibliographical appendices.

* An acrobat version of the main glossary which produces an excellent
  printable text.

* A set of discussions on LF with participants all over the world.

-- 
Every gun that is made, every warship launched,
every rocket fired, signifies, in the final sense,
theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those
who are cold and are not clothed. The world in 
arms is not spending money alone. It is spending
the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its 
scientists, the hopes of its children.
                                --Dwight David Eisenhower
                                  President of the United States
                                  General of the Army
                                  April 16, 1953
