The author outlines a practical orthography for Kwakw’ala, the language spoken by the Kwagulh (Kwakiutl), of coastal British Columbia. In the first section he describes its use with a progression from the most familiar phonemes and symbols to the least while the second offers a functional exemplification in the form of cross-indexed Kwakw’ala-English (approximately 4,000 entries) and English-Kwakw’ala (about 12,000 entries) dictionaries.

When a certain Mark Anthony of the famous Italian family of the Roveres arrived in Agen, in SW France, in the second decade of the 16th century, he brought along with him his personal physician, Master Julius Caesar, who had been under the protection of his family for some time. This latter was a majestic-looking man of some 40 years of age who was to become renowned as one of the greatest scholars of the Renaissance. Indeed, so great became his fame in all branches of learning that it was for long considered that he was the greatest scholar who had ever dwelt in France. This study provides all the important things known about the life of Julius Caesar Scaliger (1484-1558). This is a print on demand publication.
