Extractions: Digital Text Birds And Beasts of the Greek Anthology Norman Douglas Chapman and Hall Ltd., London, 1928 While not dealing with the middle ages directly, this book is of interest in the study of the bestiary genre. It explores the appearance of animals in the the Greek Anthology, a collection of lyrical poems, epigrams, oracles, epitaphs and enigmas written by many Greek authors of antiquity. Medieval authors of beast texts were influenced by these poems; even if they did not have access to the poems themselves, they certainly had indirect access through later Latin authors (such as Pliny the Elder) who used many of the animal descriptions in their own works. Beast tales found in the Anthology are are also found, relatively unchanged, in medieval texts. Norman Douglas (1868-1952) was born in Austria to a Scottish father and a Scottish-German mother. He entered the British Foreign Office in 1893 and served as a diplomat in St. Petersburg. Douglas purchased property on Capri, but after financial difficulties in 1907 he existed in near poverty for almost two decades as he lived at times in Paris, Florence, Lisbon, and London, before returning to Capri in 1946. He wrote novels, autobiographical works and travel books, including

Extractions: Like Francis , or German Norman was originally given as a descriptive nickname, like Edgar the Norman. It quickly became used as a name in its own right, however. Norman was already a common name in England before William the Conqueror (himself, a Norman) invaded in 1066. As a name, it died out in the 14th century in England, but not in Scotland. There was a revival of the name Norman after Charlotte Mary Yonge wrote her book The Daisy Chain in 1856.

Vive La France ! cared to try, could produce an excellent and nutritious substitute out of cigar stumpsand empty matchboxes. Norman Douglas (18681952), British novelist. http://www.gdargaud.net/Humor/French.html
Extractions: Humor page or Table of Content "Bouillabaisse is only good because cooked by the French, who, if they cared to try, could produce an excellent and nutritious substitute out of cigar stumps and empty matchboxes." On this page: T he following advisory for American travelers heading for France was compiled from information provided by the US State Department, the Central Intelligence Agency, the US Chamber of Commerce, the Food and Drug Administration, the Centers for Disease Control, and some very expensive spy satellites that the French don't know about. It is intended as a guide for American travellers only. France is a medium-sized foreign country situated in the continent of Europe. It is an important member of the world community, though not nearly as important as it thinks. It is bounded by Germany, Spain, Switzerland and some smaller nations of no particular consequence and with not very good shopping. France is a very old country with many treasures, such as the Louvre and EuroDisney. Among its contributions to western civilization are champagne, Camembert cheese and the guillotine. Although France likes to think of itself as a modern nation, air conditioning is little used and it is next to impossible to get decent Mexican food. One continuing exasperation for American visitors is that the people wilfully persist in speaking French, though many will speak English if shouted at. As in any foreign country, watch your change at all times.

Extractions: ancient drug inducing forgetfulness: a supposed substance that people took in ancient times to forget their sadness or troubles, or the plant that produced the substance distraction: something that eases pain or makes people forget their troubles Norman Douglas (1868-1952) was born in Austria, educated in Scottish and European academies, and served as a British ambassador to Russia as a member of the Foreign Service from 1894-1896. Stories of his life conflict, though it appears that he was a noted pederast and had to leave St. Petersburg in the wake of a sexual scandal. He moved to Naples where he took to writing, married his cousin, and had two sons. When he divorced in 1903, he moved to the Mediterranean island of Capri where he wrote ethnographic and historical accounts of the island. It was on Capri that Douglas gathered his inspiration for his masterpiece South Wind . Though a prolific ethnographer and notable travel writer, Douglas received his primary critical acclaim and financial success with the 1917 publication of South Wind
