: : No, thanks. A quick review of "Berne Convention" on the web tells me i'd lose that dime. So, the author is dead, his publisher is gone, I can't find any trace of his mission. Perhaps the next step is to track down his missionary order in Spain and, if it still exists, try to reach them for permission. : : Many thanks for this web site and your help. : : Dear Masi, : I don't want to mislead you nor do I want to do research without being paid. : My understanding is that The Berne Convention may protect a work without a copyright notice. I believe that the US has adopted the Berne Convention, with some reservation. : Now the Register of Copyrights says that in the United States all works prior to 1923 are public domain. The Berne convention, may provide world rights of life plus x years. A US copyright is now 95 years or life plus 70. You do the research and let me know. : M.
