The most recent web citations on Ligozzi] focus on his botanical drawings and art. Ducal patronage strongly encouraged or demanded him to produce designs for tapestries and bejeweled items. I am not sure this makes him a jeweler, though it was not unheard of for artists in those centuries to cross the line from jeweler to artists ([[Benvenuto Cellini|Cellini,Ghirlandaio, and Verrochio come to mind), and thus these were not wholly seperate spheres. I strongly favor considering Pietra dura as a jeweler's art. In Florence, the byzantine tradition of mosaics was always weak, and by Ligozzi's time generally overwhelmed by fresco decoration, while a strong tradition in the fashioning of baubles and jewels persisted, again see the three artists above. I do not know enough about Pietra dura (for example, how are stones procured and prepared etc., to expand that article.CARAVAGGISTI 15:15, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

Bloesch article
Greetings - you contacted me over at Theopedia about the Bloesch article. Unfortunately, I was confused as to how you wanted me to email you. Forgive me if I looked over something rather obvious. Feel free to use the "email this user" feature and contact me and I will be more than happy to interact with over email. Blessings. JordanBarrett 05:13, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

Op cit and the Battle of Mill Springs == ==

I could not make the elaborate ref bits to work. So I did the third (my second) as an Op cit. You removed this. I request that you fix this. There are seven volumes and associated numbers of The Zollie Tree, running back for years. You have degraded the citation. --MarkTwainOnIce 06:18, 6 February 2007 (UTC)


 * I changed it to conform to the bulk of ACW article citations, which generally avoid the use of Latin abbreviations of this type. We also avoid Ibid. Since there are so few footnotes in this article and you are referring to the same newsletter in adjacent notes, it didn't seem to be crucial information for the average reader, 99% of whom will not know its meaning. If you feel strongly about this, change it back. Hal Jespersen 16:02, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
