Acknowledgment: This volume draws substantially on the Anniversary Edition of Bosman’s works that Stephen Gray and I undertook between 1997 and 2005, the centenary year of Bosman’s birth. My grateful thanks are extended to my co-editor, both for his assistance with the Oom Schalk collections I edited for the Anniversary Edition and, more particularly, for advice here. – C. M.
