I-IV.

 

I had heard from Prof. Sandahl that she had solved this ancient mystery, and

had this in the back of my mind when I asked the question- but only in the

back of my mind, since I didn't think that she had used a computer to find

her solution. Nevertheless, I eagerly look forward to reading the article,

and may pick up a copy of RSO in person at one of the really astonishingly

well-stocked and literate magazine kiosks that you have in your Italian

train stations.

You could also try at MacDonald's, where I usually purchase my

personal copy of Indo-Iranian Journal (please allow me to joke a

bit...). More seriously: as an old-style highly academical journal,

it is unlikely that you can find the Rivista degli Studi Orientali

(founded early in the last century) elsewhere than in libraries.

Regrettably, I agree...

Hahaha. Well, I didn't really expect to find anything _quite_ as olympian

as RSO at the newsstand, but I was really impressed by the array of Italian

and translated high literature in cheap paperback editions that was to be

found alongside the newspapers and hard pornography at the newsstands over

there. And I thought I saw people drinking wine with their Macchi Larghi.

So anything might be possible.

I doubt if it is in the U of T library, but if not, I can find it online, or

have it sent to me.

 

Still interested in the computer question, if there's any more to be said.

 

Muchthanks
