Yes, it would have been great to meet. Next time you visit Paris, may be? Thank you for the references and advice about the Bibliothèque Forney. --Previous Message-- : Arthur, : : Too bad I didn't know you were in Paris, : maybe we could have met for un cafe? : : The Gallerie d'Apollon was closed for : renovations, and the Crowns and other jewels : weren't on display. Unfortunately, no one : told me about the ones in the medieval : galleries. Too bad the museum docents aren't : trained to know where artifacts are located, : or at least take the time to consult with : reference resources when responding to : visitor's inquiries. : : If you are interested in the catalogue, here : is the reference info : : Les Joyaux du Trésor de Russie : Fersman, Aleksandr Evgenevic--1883-1945. : [Editeur scientifique] [1] : Catalogue number NS 49440 Folio : : You need to provide your Paris library card : (which you probably already have. It is a : bit of a process to obtain if you aren't : Parisien and don't already have one). Make : sure to include the word "folio" : in the retrieval request, otherwise they'll : tell you it is located at another location. : (Folio seems to be a library term meaning : over-sized. They keep the over-sized book : on-site, and regular books in storage). :
