I am forwarding a query from one of my faculty to the list. She would like to find the meaning (or translation) of the title of a painting by Albert Aublet. The title is: 'Esqui-Djamidja' . I found the following information about the artist on the WWW. We don't appear to have any books on his works. Albert AUBLET (1851-1938) : Il a effectué, entre autres voyages, un séjour en Tunisie dans les années 1920. http://orientaliste.free.fr/textes/artistes1.html Other colleagues suggested 'Esqui-Djamidja' might be a the name of a place or institution, rather than a descriptive or narrative title. I've asked the faculty member if she could tell me where the painting is now, but she hasn't yet responded. I am hoping that someone on the list may have more information. Thanks for any assistance you can offer.
