Acknowledgements

I must first express my thanks to Lester H. Lange and Gerald L. Alexanderson for the inspiration to start this compilation.

I would especially like to thank: J. W. S. Cassels and D. T. Whiteside for providing many details about Cambridge and Trinity College; Anthony Edwards for details about Caius College and Cambridge; Manfred Stern and Michael Gebel for showing me around Halle; Dwight and Lois Paine for their report [Paine] on looking for monuments in Europe; Silke Anderson, Irving Finkel, Richard Parkinson and Christopher Walker for showing me material in the British Museum; Jean Varouchas for arranging visits to Nancy and taking me to Pont-à-Mousson; John Fauvel, Peter Ransom, Peter Schreiber and Garry Tee for many miscellaneous items.

I would like to thank: Chris Abbess, E. J. Aiton†, Sue Andrew, A. M.
