Welcome to the Zarthani.net H. Beam Piper mailing list and discussion forum. Initiated in October 2008 (after the demise of the original PIPER-L mailing list), this tool for shared communication among Piper fans provides an e-mail list and a discussion forum with on-line archives.

Moderation will focus on keeping the discussion related to H. Beam Piper in a broadly interpreted sense. Off-topic posts or ad hominem comments will not be approved for posting and repeat offenders may be banned from posting to the list.

I'm willing to accept the funds whatever way is most convenient for you, Jim. I'll follow-up off-line to discuss.

Thanks much!

Is there another way to make a donation? I don't use PayPal.

Merry Christmas to all.

Thank you to those of you who have made contributions to keeping the discussion going. So far we've reached half of the annual cost to keep our discussion forum free of ads and allow us to do things like post images. If you've not yet had a chance to make a contribution please consider doing so. Any amount will help.

Thanks, and best wishes for the holidays.

Time to Renew our Hosting Service

Some of you may have noticed a reduction in capabilities here at our mailing list/discussion forum. That's because it's time to renew our annual subscription fee to keep the forum free of advertising and to have added functionality such as the ability to post images. Please do your bit to help us keep the discussion going by making a
contribution using the PayPal link in the upper right-hand corner at Zarthani.net:

http://www.zarthani.net/

Any amount you are able to contribute is appreciated.

Thanks,

David

Origins of the name "Corisande"

I've long wondered what the source material was for the name of Otto Harkaman's ship. I think I may have found it:

http://www.library.unt.edu/music/special-c...is-1st-edition-1684

This 17th Century French opera is based upon an even earlier Spanish work, Amadis de Gaula, from the same genre as the legends of Arthur and Charlemagne from which many of the names of the Sword Worlds were taken.
