Thank you for the pronunciation tip consuelo, and of troy, for your perspective. Your qualification was necessary, largely because, let it be said in passing (since it has been discussed at length elsewhere) that Wikipedia is user-contributed and therefore tends to be human-interest orientated -- sometimes at the expense of academic detachment. But hell, where else will you find an article on the 23 enigma and the Mary Celeste not to mention -- as no other encyclopedia will -- the Outside Context Problem?

But it should be remembered too (by certain AWADtalk posters who love nothing so much as bagging Wiki) that the Great Library of Alexandria was effectively an open-content information system insofar as the scrolls of all visitors to the city were seized by official scribes; the scribes made copies, which they gave to the itinerant scholars, and added the originals to the library. You can read about it here, at Wikipedia.
