Renaissance Faire
Homepage
John M Vinopal - banshee@resort.com
Step back 400 years to a time of Romance. Shakespeare is in the prime of his
career. Sir Francis Drake has circumnavigated the Globe - The
goal of the Renaissance Faire Homepage is to contain a wealth of material for
renfaire workers and customers alike. Covering the topics of BFA (basic
faire accent) and pronunciation, costuming, acting, and basic history from the
Tudor period through the end of the Elizabethan, this site provides a touch of
everything for the reinactor or renaissance fair enthusiast.

The
Lord's Prayer in the Germanic Languages
Catherine N. Ball
I have prepared this page for the use of classes in linguistics, history of the
English language, and Old English. Textbooks for such courses often discuss the
Germanic languages in general terms, without giving more than a small list of
cognate words for selected languages. These translations of a short text will, I
hope, provide much richer data for the student. They may also help to satisfy
some linguistic curiosity about Frisian, which textbooks often claim is the most
closely related of the Germanic languages to English.
