Some time ago, I posted the message below. No response. In dispair,
I'll try again. I would appreciate any help at all, even hints of where
to look. San Diego, where I live, is hardly a hotbed of botanical Latin
scholarship.
Here's my message:
For work on Renaissance mycological writings, does anyone know of a
translation into any modern European language of
A. Jonghe (Junius), "Phalli, ex fungorum genere in Hollandiae.... "
(1564).
Second best, do you know of someone willing and able to translate it for a
fee? I own a xerox copy, which is quite readable. However, this is
florid Renaissance Latin, not the easiest to translate.
I could extend my request to other works as well, but this will hold me for
now.
With thanks,
Elio Schaechter
