Librarian for Jewish Studies at Columbia U, co-director Footprints: Jewish Books Through Time and Place, President @ Association of Jewish Libraries - I mostly post #hebrewmanuscripts and #jewishmanuscripts, Jewish #bookhistory, #dhjewish

“But at his [Sir Lanç’s] arrival* the joy of Queen Zinerva, the King’s wife, was a thousand-fold greater than all the others.” —King Artus, Anonymous (1279)

*There is a double entendre in Hebrew. Bi’ah can also mean the sexual act. See B. T. Yoma 86 b, and Mishna Kedushin 1:1. —Curt Leviant
