ABSTRACT

ANOTHER SAMLA, BUT THIS TIME THE ORGANISING COMMITTEE had been won over by a sleek and sexy presentation given by the Chamber of Commerce of Tampa, Florida. Had I known that the major delights of the refurbished and almost uninhabited city were limited to the appetizer course at a restaurant in the old cigar-making area, I doubt that I would have invited my fiancée, Eva Resnikova, to come sample the conference circuit and hear me hold forth on “Slips and Errors in Textual Criticism.”
