OK: so where did this definition come from? It must come from somewhere,
have a source, someone you can cite...
But that still leaves me hanging: part of what I'm doing is historical

medieval, part Classical, & possibly some prehistoric... except that the
relation between historical & prehistoric...
I'm confused... just give me the source & I'll read it myself
