Corrections

The whole book constitutes nearly a half-million words, so I know this list will grow:

(Corrections in green have been incorporated into the Second Impression of the book, July 2004.)

p. v, title for p. 646: for "Dethe" read "Deth"

p. xviii, entry for c. 1190: for "Athurian" read "Arthurian"

p. 8, line 22: add quotation mark after "here"

p. 113, line 9: for "There" read "there"

p. 149, n. 5 (2): for the date of the fall of Constantinople, read "1453" for "1456"
