.... and by the way, you're not black either, Dear Doctor.
I'm no cook, although I used to be in my youth.

LOL

was a bit dangerous being a cook back in Bacon's time.

O Selden de Diis Syris Sintag.I.r.2.—7.25.
That singular Mathe-matician, learned be yond what the Age he liv'd in did ordinarily bring forth, Roger Bacon an Oxford man, and a Fryer minorite.
The Testimony of Gabriel Powel in his Book of Antichrist in Preface, p.14.

Roger Bacon an Englishman, a founded Scholar of Merton-Colledg in Oxford, a very quick Philosopher, and withall a very famous Divine, he had an incredible knowledge in the Mathematicks, but without Necromancy (as John Balleus doth report) although he be defam'd for it by many: Now this man after he had sharply reproved the times wherein he liv'd; these Errours, saith he, speak Antichrist present. Nicholas the Fourth Pope of Rome did condemn his Doctrine in many things, and he was by him kept in prison for many years together; as Antonine hath it in his Chronicle. He flourished in the year of our Lord, 1270.

No wonder there were so many illiterate people back then, who could wade through that stuff? 🙂

In Hebrew, each letter also stands for a number (there are no numerals in Biblical Hebrew).

Dalet is the fourth letter of the Hebrew alphabet, ...[text shortened]... aning,” but all the possible meanings, looking for symbolism, metaphor, word-plays, even puns.
Now that's what I'm talking about. Thank you, Sir.

Thank you. That is one of my favorite things: playing with the Hebrew (often meditatively), which I call a "depth language." I haven't done it in awhile, for some reason. Let's say it is one place that I find the philosophia perennis--and Ein Sof. I really ought to thank lucifershammer and the others in this thread--especially you, for the "Why 42...Dammit?"--for getting me into it again. Thanks all.

I feel the same way about Sufi poetry, though I am ignorant of Persian.

Yes, I agree. Some lines (strictly from memory here) of Kabir:

The Holy One is manifest in a myriad of forms.
I sing the glory of the forms!

(from the Tagore translation).

I also like Hasidic niggun and Sufi quwalli.

Which is where we ask the question - what did the readers at the time derive from it?

I am not. Neither is my weight represented in either of those numbers. Why do you feel I am overweight?
