I am also grateful to Cynthia White for help in obtaining research materials, to William McCarthy for computer ad- vice, and to Georgetta Cooper and Caitlyn Gilhooly for cartographic as- sistance. In addition, I would like to acknowledge the generous financial as- sistance of the National Endowment for the Humanities, the Woodrow Wilson National Fellowship Foundation, and the Mrs. Giles Whiting Foundation. Their support for the research on Caesarius in which this volume shares was instrumental in its completion. My final and greatest debt of gratitude is to my wife Patricia, to whom I have dedicated this book. For her keen interest in Caesarius and advice and encouragement throughout the project I am inexpressibly grateful.
