(no subject)

Today I made a sort of interesting scholarly discovery, which was new to me if to no one else.

( Cut to spare any of y'all who don't want to read about giants, the Tower of Babel and general medievally monstrolicious awesomeness )

By the way, as I work on more reading for my comps (which includes both original medieval texts and scholarly discussion of them), I'm hoping to make more posts along these lines here. However, I'm not entirely certain I should bore entertain my entire flist with it, so I think I'm going to set up a friendspost filter for this sort of stuff (i.e., "interesting medieval historical/literary stuff"). So, er, comment to this post if you'd like to be on it?
