Dear Thomas,
	Concerning F's introduction to K's Anthropologie, _dits et 
ecrits_ has the following information to offer:

	"En 1961, MF presente comme these complementaire pour l'obtention 
de doctorat es lettres une traduction annotee, de 347 pages, 
d'Anthropologie in pragmatischer Hinsichtabgefasst, d'EK, precedee d'une 
introduction de 128 pages.  L'ensemble est conserve sours forme 
dactylographiee par la bibliotheque de la Sorbonne.  F ne publia que la 
traduction precedee de cette "notice historique."

	In good old English:
 	"In 1961, MF present[ed] a 347-page annotated translation of EK's 
Anthropology preceeded by a 128-page introduction as [part of the 
requirements for his doctoral degree]. The work in its entirety is kept 
in type-written form at the library of the Sorbonne.  F only published 
the translation and this "historical notice."  

	The historical notice is text #19 in _dits et ecrits_.  Send me a 
message if you need the French text; I would not mind at all sending it 
to you via snail.  (I've just entered some 10 pages of text from this 
book and don't think I could stand doing another one).

sincerely,
dda
