This bibliography is partially indebted to that circulated by Robert Mathiesen, Brown University, on ANSAXNET on 26 May 1992 and used in his course at Brown in Spring 1992. Mathiesen is a professor in Brown's Department of Slavic Languages, Box E, Brown University, Providence, RI 02912. Mathiesen's description of his Spring 1992 course is the source of comments at the start of this module.
Recommended readings in the "Astrology" link are indebted to Margery Adams, who proposed a module on Astrology as her project in the first Seafarer course in Spring 1992.
