Hi Candace:

I did receive your message -- thank you.  I was giving a seminar discussing
Sissa's text and really needed to be sure I wasn't making a huge mistake in
assuming that Giulia was related to Julia.  Fortunately your message
arrived in time and, also fortunately, my assumption about the name had
been correct.  Thanks to all those who replied.  Catherine
