Visiting Scholar

I've just got back from a two month stay in China as a visiting scholar at Beijing University of Foreign Studies. It was a great experience. Everyone made me very welcome. I spent a lot of my time translating pages from Historia Cultus Sinensium from Latin into English. They have a beautiful library with a copy of Lewis and Short. It's an old dictionary but still one of the best. I supplemented it with Leo Stelten's Dictionary of Ecclesiastical Latin it went quite well.Dictionary of Ecclesiastical LatinLeo SteltenA Latin Dictionary: Founded on Andrews' Edition of Freund's Latin Dictionary. Revised, Enlarged, and in Great Part Rewritten. 1879.

Alan Johnson Congratulations! It sounds like a productive West-East encounter. So much for Rudyard Kipling ("OH, East is East, and West is West, and never the twain shall meet").
