[Other] Course in Cologne focusing on VMS

[davidjackson]

By the way, isn't it weird to spend so much time and effort explaining Cheshire's nonsense in a class like this? It's like inserting a chapter on Flat Earth in a course on astrophysics.

I fail to see why. It's a high profile recent theory that deserves mention, if only to examine the gaping holes in it. The more people who study it, the fewer will fall into this particular Heffalump trap in future, which can only be a good thing.
I'd also point out the description in the course work mentions it as "a kind of proto-Romance language with Latin abbreviations"..... which is about as ironic as mediaevalists get!
