Tony-
Do you possess, and intend to web, the Transactions of the Japan Society
article? I ask simply because I won't bother trying to dig it up if you are
going to post it on EJMAS some day. Conversely, if you don't possess it,
that is all the more reason for me to dig it up.
Anyway, back to Cherpillod, the reference from a 1943 Library of Congress
biblio gives:
Cherpillod, A. Handbuch des dschiu-dschitsu. Neuenburg, Attinger, 1906. 129
p.
Robert W. Smith's "A Complete Guide to Judo" (partly based on the above),
under German, gives:
Cherpillod, A. Handbuch des Dschiu Dschitsu. Leipzig: H.G. Wallmans Verlag,
1906 125 p.
--Meine Selbsthilfe Jiu Jitsu fuer Damen. Nuremberg: Attinger, 1901, 98
p.
and then under French it gives:
Cherpillod, A. Je Me Defends Toute Seule. Paris: PU, 1907, 98 p.
--Manuel de Jiu-Jitsu a l'Usage des Societes de Gymnastique et du Public
en General. Paris: PU, 1906, pp. U.
