Today, Sid and I are attempting a recipe for “roy marmelaede” with quinces from the Antwerp Annunciates’ recipe book (first half 17th century, with some later additions - @kbrbe.bsky.social).
Quite curious as to how this will go (1/?)

Thread on all things Narsai 😍
To celebrate both @younan.bsky.social's publication here and me crossing the 2k follower mark, let's have a thread about Narsai and some exciting new resources that have come out recently or are coming out soon.
Huge congratulations to @younan.bsky.social on the publication of this newly published translation of several sermons (mēmrē) of Narsai. I know from experience how tricky Narsai can be, but Andrew makes it look easy. I was honored to be among those who wrote a blurb for this important volume.

These kinds of transcriptions, made by Karaites, are an invaluable source for how Tiberian #Hebrew was pronounced, especially when it comes to vowel length. Biblical Hebrew spelling doesn't mark vowel length; not consistently. So, many scholars simply think it didn't exist anymore in Tiberian. BUT…
