I recently received a rare copy of the Pangasinan-Español dictionary by Lorenzo Fernandez Cosgaya courtesy of Dr. Carl Rubino and Dr. R. David Zorc. I also acquired a copy of Rizal's Noli Me Tangere and El Filibusterismo in Pangasinan language. Many thanks to a new friend who gave me the information where to buy them :)

I am currently looking / searching for the following titles for my personal collections and for the Pangasinan Studies Center: Arte de la lengua Pangasinan :o, caboloan, Corr. aum. y llevando en si el mismo compendio by Mariano Pellicer, Breve noticia acerca de la aparicion de Nuestra Senora de Manaoag, Patrona de Pangasinan seguida de novena en honor de esta senora by Salvador Millan, Grammar and dictionary of the Pangasinan language : Gramatica tan diccionario na salita y Pangasinan by Ernest Rayner, and Pangasinan dictionary / Spoken Pangasinan / Pangasinan reference grammar by Richard Anthony Benton.

Islamic Clerics Ban Poetry for Women

A PRESTIGIOUS Sunni Islam institution, the Al-Azhar University, has banned an Egyptian book of poetry, claiming it is obscene.

But the author of the book, poet Ahmed Shahawi, has fuelled a new controversy between the arts and religion in Egypt by insisting that he will defy the edict and reprint copies of Commandments of Love for Women. In the book, Shahawi advises women on how to show love and keep men attracted, combining Koranic verses with sometimes explicit language.

For example, "Know that there is nothing greater than the meeting of your souls and the joining of your bodies."

And "The Prophet said there is nothing better for those who are in love than love-making within wedlock."
