I realize the work refers to the trapeze--with the two swinging bars and the net underneath--but what is the actual translation of the title? I consulted Larousse and a number of other dictionaries to no avail. -- James Lane Fine Arts Librarian Sahara West Library 9600 West Sahara Avenue Las Vegas, Nevada 89117 [log in to unmask] (702) 228-3525 __________________________________________________________________ Mail submissions to [log in to unmask] Administrative matters (file requests, subscription requests, etc) to [log in to unmask] ARLIS-L Archives and subscription maintenance: http://lsv.uky.edu/archives/arlis-l.html Questions may be addressed to list owner at: [log in to unmask] __________________________________________________________________ Mail submissions to [log in to unmask] Administrative matters (file requests, subscription requests, etc) to [log in to unmask] ARLIS-L Archives and subscription maintenance: http://lsv.uky.edu/archives/arlis-l.html Questions may be addressed to list owner at: [log in to unmask]
