Editors of Polata knigopisnaia include Mario Capaldo, Via Malpighi 12A, Rome, Italy, and William R. Veder, Universiteit van Amsterdam, Holland. This issue is edited by William R. Veder.This "Message from Your Editors" explains that the contents of Polata Knigopisnaia 17-18 are papers presented at a conference "International Data Bases for Medieval Manuscript Studies" at the Catholic University (Katholieke Universiteit), Nijmegen, September 1987. It is also noted that the Catholic University, previously the publishing site of Polata knigopisnaia, "decided in 1987 to end all formal activities in the field of palaeography, codicology and textology, except within the realm of Dutch studies." Revisions to the journal are also discussed

String Dilaton Fluid Cosmology

We investigate $(n+1)$-dimensional string-dilaton cosmology with effective dilaton potential in presence of perfect-fluid matter.We get exact solutions parametrized by the constant \gam of the state equation p=(\gam-1)\rho, the spatial dimension number $n$, the bulk of matter, and the spatial curvature constant $k$. Several interesting cosmological behaviours are selected. Finally we discuss the recovering of ordinary Einstein gravity starting from string dominated regime and a sort of asymptotic freedom due to string effective coupling.Comment: 16 pages, Latex, submitted to Int. Jou. Mod. Phys.
