Jeanne, thanks for the Podany reference and review. These Sumerians are near to my heart. As for the other, I vowed long ago to avoid translations from French. And when I forget, the maddening digressions remind me. Claims for the sparkling clarity of French seem to be echoes of 18th century salons rather than lucid assessment in modern terms. It was a pleasure to read your careful evaluation from a historian-reader perspective.
