Subject:Latin form of the name 'Humphrey'?
Time:03:12 pm
I'm writing a story, and I'm here via little_details, and it is a very small detail. But I can't find this anywhere - I've tried baby-name sites, and the Duke Humfrey's Library site at Oxford University. Though it's a Germanic name there must surely be a formal Latin version for offical documents???

Thanks in advance!

Subject:Beekeeping?
Time:04:08 pm
A family member of mine is interested in beekeeping. Any good authoritative books out there on the art aside from the 'for dummies' or 'for idiots' guides?

Subject:Book buy-back
Time:01:34 pm
Hey, grads!

I'm faced with a question as the semester closes. I'm a first year grad student in English, finishing up my first semester. In undergrad, I sold all of the books I didn't think I was going to use again. Now that I'm in grad school, I'm not sure whether I should hang on to everything or if I should get rid of the things I didn't use or don't think I'll need again. The two books in question were both for a research methods/introductory theory/grad boot-camp class: Robert Scholes' The Rise and Fall of English (cheerful reading, that) and John Hollander's Rhyme's Reason (we didn't get to it). I'm not sure I would gain anything from keeping either of these books, as my interests are in Victorian lit (mostly Gothic Vic Lit) and Rhet/Comp.

So, the question boils down to: Should I keep the books I was required to buy for class (to be safe) or am I safe in trying to sell them (because I have no use for them)?
