In theory only non-approved translations were banned after 1400. And in other countries (e.g. Germany) there were approved translations from the Vulgate which made into print before the Reformation got going. But for whatever reason that didn't happen in England in the relevant time period

Define your calendar! In some the 12th century is in the future. (not sure if there are any where it's the present...)

We performed De Profundis in 2022 but GIOHAS was entirely new to us before this season.

Not for our potential crimes against music, one hopes, but monitoring a demonstration in the area. Details of the full album at signumrecords.com/product/the-...

With enough care one could ensure that all the real content was in one language and only very common well-known words was in the other. But of course Worldcon speeches and presentations would never do anything so insensitive...

This is the traditional explanation, but in fact it is a mistranslation of Reichstagskoks, which fuelled the empire during the day while Reichsnachtskoks did so by night...

Sadly this real Jane Eyre is not known to have been an author... (buried in Galway)

Assuming a two-winged angel, already a bit of a challenge if they are similar to terrestrial vertebrates. Six-winged seraphs even more tricky...

“Thought “ was intended. Carchar Ei Mawrhydi versus Carchar Ei Fawrhydi…

Yesterday went across the border to the hymn-singing at the Welsh National Eisteddfod in Wrexham, enjoying singing all the harmonies. Several works by local composers such as Caradog Roberts from Rhosllannerchrugog
