User talk:HHill
Hi! Just follow up from the AfD regarding the battle of Issus. Did I understand correctly that you have a copy of Norwich? Since the article is now kept, could you help with the rewrite and check that it is correctly used and that there are no false left overs from the old article? Unfortunately myself I've only access to parts of Kaegi via Google Books.
regards,

- No, I do not possess a copy, I used one on display in a bookshop. But I could send you doi:10.1177/096834459900600101, which has more details and footnotes (Norwich 1997 is a short (!) history of Byzantium for the general reader). The next few weeks I am rather busy in RL, but I will try to check the article in July. You can reach me at my german talk page or via the german resource exchange.
