Now, Gouguenheim is no nutter from the fringe. On the other hand, the French are kind of, well, French (thank you, Eddie Izzard).

At any rate, medieval and renaissance studies is about to have a real brawl. And I'm gonna be there!
1. I'm not a huge fan of the wikipedia entry for Duby, but it's the best I can do without being subscribed to Encyclopedia Britannica Premium.
