-
- Thesis (M.A.)--Radboud University of Nijmegen, the Netherlands, 1996.
- Includes bibliographical references (p. 183-186)
- "Apart from the new names given to various people and the cutting of two technical appendices, this English version does not significantly diverge from the original. The original Dutch text (in photocopy) remains available for inspection at the MI. Both the author and the translator have resisted the temptation to add information or to bring any parts of it up to date. It is a "snapshot" of a late 1996 reality. Its readers must themselves do some work to give it a 2008 context" -- p. 7.
