when a reviewer asks you to cite their work in your revised submission and so you grudgingly insert a footnote but in no way discuss their ideas in your work, so that it’s there and you can’t be dinged for ignoring it, but also you did nothing to address it… this is called a “sightation”

just a reminder that antisemitism has been a part of Western culture for over a millennia and has a powerful influence on culture, social life, and politics. as with other forms of oppression, like misogyny and racism, open violence is just an explicit expression of more widespread attitudes.

On John Fransham (1730-1810), who seems to have been the first modern pagan revivalist: "he used to walk about with a cat under his arm, which he affirmed possessed a soul, and that cats would be saved rather than human beings"

There remains the problem, in which language was Adam naming the animals?
Did he say "חָתוּל", or "cat", or "gatto", or "Katze", or αἴλουρος, or "catus"?🤔
No, not catus, as we needed Saint Jerome to have it translated into Latin
However, what was wrong with this Bull guy? Nothing better to think of?🙄

Adam in the Garden of Eden is said to have named all the animals for the first time.
Bishop George Bull was enormously impressed with this feat and thought that it could only have been executed with God's help.

There is a fascinating story behind how this vision passed into Catholic folklore and what uses it was put to.
