Just finished reading @younan.bsky.social’s translation of Narsai. I had never read any Narsai before, and I was blown away! (I especially loved Memra 21: On the Temptation of Christ and Memra 44: On the New Creation.) Makes we want to try to tackle some Narsai in Syriac now!

Some of my collection from @gorgiaspress.bsky.social The Syriac Peshitta New Testament: A Reader’s Edition has been a great resource as I’ve been (slowly) reading through the Gospels!

Just finished reading @hanavideen.bsky.social’s two delightful books on Old English. I’ve been dabbling in OE the past couple years, and these books are a fun little glimpse into the lives of people in medieval England. I highly recommend them whether you’re learning OE or just want a fun read.

Just read the first chapter of The Word Hord: Daily Life in Old English. So far a fun read! Looking forward to hoarding more Old English words! @hanavideen.bsky.social

Can’t put Osweald Bera down! Already on chapter 9 after just over a week. I’ve dabbled in Old English some over the past 5 or 6 years, and this has been my favorite OE book thus far! Loving the story so far and finding the pedagogy effective, too. @colingorrie.bsky.social
