I would like to commend Humbol to anyone not already familiar with this portal for humanities searches... be interested to see what you think. HUMBOL

I thought "LION" sounded neat:
LION - Literature Online
This web-based service offers online searching of Chadwyck-Healey's extensive range of full-text literary databases. These include English Poetry, English Drama, Early English Prose Fiction and 18th Century Fiction. This service can be used for stylistic comparison, word-finding, textual analysis, as an online concordance and for simply reading obscure texts. Full help and documentation are available both online and in the library.
Esp. since I just got a wailing e-mail from my son that somebody beat him to his campus library for the book he needs to write a paper this weekend; maybe it'll be here.
Er...confess to ignorance as to why "HUMBOL".

I'm not certain, but suspect that 'humanities' and 'oxford' and 'library' come into it somewhere or other.

+Good question. They spent five years trying to get a decent acronym, and finally just gave up on having one that translates.
Truly, it's hard to be HUMBOL.

I haven't seen HUMBOL anyware at this site, although I did find "Humbul Humanities Hub" (which takes Oxford right out of play).

"Humbul is based in the Research Technologies Service at the University of Oxford. Humbul is located on the ground floor of Oxford University Computing Services, and is easily reached by rail, coach, email or post."

Mac Davis would be even better known were it not that so many of the songs he wrote were sung by other artists, e.g. Elvis Presley ("In The Ghetto," "Memories" and "Don't Cry Daddy"), Glen Campbell ("Everything A Man Could Ever Need", Kenny Rogers ("Something's Burning", Bobby Goldsboro ("Watching Scotty Grow") and Gallery (I Believe In Music"). He also charted with is own compositions: "Baby, Don't Get Hooked On Me," "Stop And Smell The Roses," "It's Hard To Be Humble," "Texas In My Rear View Mirror" and "Hooked On Music."
"To know me is to love me
I must be a hell of a man.
Oh Lord it's hard to be humble
but I'm doing the best that I can."

This seemed like quite a neat little summary page to me in my higgerance - be interested to hear what you more enlightened classicists reckon.

A link or two from tsuwmone's post in another thread caught my eye. I pertickly like the coinage architorture! And the old topic of phonesthemics comes up too in this site that sparkles with spunk, spice, speed, and spirit...

It's a nice, concise overview of the history of the Latin alphabet.
Ceci n'est pas un seing.
