My French is sadly sketchy but sufficient to enjoy what you've done here (my own fields were German and, much earlier, Latin).  The French prof I DID have had the wonderful name, Dionysius, and loved medieval works.  I don't mean to drag out the academic stuff so much but one last thing - Coleridge once advised this very thing: do a little reading in some other tongue you understand imperfectly - even if it's instructions with a new vacuum cleaner (example mine), it sounds somehow peculiarly clever!  I'm sure he meant more than that, but it's what I remember.  --- Lovely work and pleasant morning surprise!
