Interesting, Tibor.  I know that *I* am interested in that letter
and the perception of Carolingia it shows.  But I also see that
the reference is to an incident fifteen years ago.  I don't really
know whether that reputation of Carolingia was valid then.  I would
be even more interested to know what people think of Carolingia today.
Is Carolingia still seen as insular?  And is it true?
