New Screen Name

For purposes of clarity in posting and creating a new yahoo ID, I'm
changing from Chemiker to Alex Corvinus/TheRavenKing. Derived from the
Renaissance King of Hungary, Mattyas (Matthias) Corvinus (of the
Raven). The reference is to a myth that he was, as a child, abducted
or hidden in a forest to protect his life from aspirants to the
throne, and his being alive was announced to the faithful by a raven,
which brought a gold ring establishing his identity. Today the raven
with a gold ring in its beak is still used as a symbol for him and his
works. One of Hungary's largest publishers is Corvina Press (Corvina
is latin for raven). Mattyas married Princess Beatrice of Naples in,
IIRC, 1575, who, when she moved to BudaPest, brought with her an
entourage of cooks, seamstresses and the like. She also brought was it
thought to be a copy of the first written Italian cookbook. The
marriage changed the culture of Hungary forever. G

During his reign, Mattyas also established a policy of religious
toleration in Hungary. A latin codex from 1600 is believed to contain
the first written reference to Unitarianism as a formally organized
religion, and there is a large Unitarian church in BudaPest that is
centuries old.

Alex, proud to give credit to the man.
