[Dizionario] Re: dizionario Digest, Vol 18, Issue 1

[alexander trovalusci]

Hello and thankyou for your response,

Although very excited about accepting your offer i would like to
cover a few vague areas.

At the moment i am still reading to understand how this mailing list
work. The software that allows you to proof read on-line is very
good and i have sampled it.

Your request that for you to offer the Nuovissimi Melzi in return
for my commtment to proof-read it seems quite reasonable yet
if i am not mistaken the book has over 350,000 entries so even
if i where able to do an average of 10 entries
per day, it will take me 10 years to complete the task.
Can you confirm this is true!

I am sure i will be able to complete the task quicker, but it would be
useful to know what i am letting myself into before i committ.

Finally, i have a copy of Euclids Elements from 1860,
is this something that might be useful for the
site?

Many Regards
Alex
