Search for roman navy publication!

Hi everyone,<br>
<br>
I recently found reference about the following "doctoraalscriptie"/doctoral thesis on the internet and now I'm urgently looking out for information on how to get a copy/xerox copy of it. All I know is that the title is "Classis Germanica Pia Fidelis" and that it's been written by a "J. Mertens" as a "doctoraalscriptie" at an unknown dutch (or belgian?) University in 1995, most probably in dutch, and that it has 95 pages.<br>
<br>
Every help gladly received! Sander & Jasper, a job for you?!<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
<br>

Hi Martin,<br>
Conveniently the Nijmegen University Library system seems to be offline now. I'll check as soon as I can. On the net I only found a reference to this thesis ('doctoraalscriptie' is a MA thesis) in some secondary school library. If all else fails, I'll send an e-mail to them. <p>Greets<BR>

Hi Jasper,<br>
<br>
this "secondary school library" is exactly where I learned about the existence of this thesis; already thought of writing to them, but maybe you have the better connections...<br>
<br>
Thanks a lot so far!<br>

Grmm, can't find the thesis in any Dutch library, nor has he written an article about it later.<br>

If you really, really want it: yeah. I could do it too? Do you read Dutch anyway? <p>Greets<BR>

yes, think I want it, even if I only find out that it's of no further use to me... - I read Dutch about 80% (know thy neighbours!) but don't write it, so I thought to write to the Ursula school library in English; if you think this might cause difficulties or if you want a copy too, then it would surely be better if you wrote to them.<br>
<br>
Your suggestion?<br>
<br>

Ok, so let's give them a last chance with a call, if possible, asking whether they will make a photocopy of this work; I'll pay for all their and your expenses.<br>
<br>
...and besides, what did you think about Konen, Classis Germanica?<br>
<br>
