<P><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Small addition to my last. In the Copernicus article in German, Helga has gone to some effort to point out that there were more Germans in Krakow and at the university there than there were Poles. I don't know if this is true, and I don't really care. As I (and others) have said many times, Helga's understanding of what makes up nationality is purely post- von Herder. Her understanding of what people thought in the 15th century is weak at best. That said, no, she doesn't write neutrally there either. From my POV, that kind of bizarre detail just doesn't belong, because it isn't really relevant -- or if it is, there's nothing that explains why it is. Moreover, it's like Ark's more outrageous statements (or the ones that Tom is so nicely handling in that odd Germanic isn't Indo-European article) -- it just makes intelligent people want to ask "where did you get that"?</FONT></SPAN></P>
