Lovely essay. The first time I opened Lanman, in a similar context, I had such an overwhelming sense of recognition, of being at home in what I expected to be a much more distant language (after Greek and Latin). It's nice to read this and remember that.

Enjoyed the essay very much yesterday (including the translation, of course). It brought up so many memories that I actually paused a work in progress to write about one of the later Lanman extracts.
