Contributions
Henk Pardoel: " A unique problem which has presented itself while
attempting to locate material on fencing is a difficultly in obtaining
foreign material. In order to assure the completeness of my commemorative
fencing bibliography I am sending out a request to all avid fencers to
help me in this endeavour. I am looking for fencing literature from
around the world to add both to my listings and to verify existing entries.
I am specifically interested in locating material from South America, Spain,
Asia, Eastern Bloc Countries, and Nordic Countries. The information which
I require should be in the form of a book, a manual, a manuscript, a
yearbook, a published photograph/lithograph, a painting depicting fencing, a
magazine article, a movie or an e-mail address. Newspaper article listings may
be sent, however, they will not be used in my written bibliography but may be
used in a future CD-rom edition of the bibliography.
Respondents will be gratefully acknowledged in my upcoming
publication. This information should arrive before the end of May,
1996 in order for it to be included in my commemorative edition.If individual
contributions are significant I will send the respondent a free copy of my
first bibliography."
