This is such a thoughtful and generous review of my book... thank you so much, Leaf by Leaf. (I think I need to put 'Word Detective' in my bio from now on.) If you'd like Princeton UP to send a copy of my new book (published this month), 'The Deorhord: An Old English Bestiary', just let me know!

aww, God bless you both. Prof. Videen, can you please recommend resources for someone who would like to learn a little Old English in their own time, someone with a fairly solid grounding in ancient languages? Many thanks.

This sounds like a lot of fun. Today while having breakfast I was thinking about that first line from the Gospel Of John and how it is, even if one read only as mere literature, one of the greatest opening lines ever. Long Live the Logophiles 📖

Fun fact: While our house was being built, I wrote out the first line of John in the Greek on the post over the doorway to my library. :)

“Why does it hurt when I pee? I don't want no doctor To stick no needle in me Why does it hurt when I pee? I got it from the toilet seat It jumped right up And grabbed my meat Got it from the toilet seat My balls feel like a pair of maracas Oh God, I probably got the Gono-co-co-coccus My balls feel like a pair of maracas Why does it hurt when I pee?” -Frank Zappa P.S. Alter’s translation and commentary are incredible.
