A Book containing the phrases "donkey's milk" "asses' milk" "she bathes in it" and "a regular Cleopatra"

It's somebody's diary, isn't it?

Mrs Dale’s, as I recall.

this sounds like a Must read... *runs to find and read*

typical AAD humor aside, the book you are recalling is the apocalypse of thomas, shorter edition (the unabridged version is so heavily caked with batter you can scarcely read the *foreign* words). the distinctive feature of the A of T is, of course, the absurdly sharp paper stock on which it is printed. paper cuts are one thing, but mass vivosection (it was a standard reader for all my third forms) is another (very messy, very noisy) matter. best to wait until it has just sloughed, then read it quickly before a new shell starts to form. it also may be sauteed with garlic and butter at this stage. and by the way, it is not "pegasus," but "perasus" (a painful, hair-filled cyst that forms at the base of the spine). printer's conventions at the time rendered lower-case "r" in the form of the modern miniscule "g" in many OHG texts. aromatic inks were also quite common, at least more so than today. good copies are always sought -- best prices paid! i love you.

that confusseled me..

hugley is again, quite natugally, on the specie, hitting nails on the head (amongst otheg locations), spot on, and even gight. Howeveg, he has failed to point out that since the Bosman guling, it's been deuced hagd to find good scgibes, not to mention illuminatogs, hence the paucity of editions abgidged or not.

This is as good a place as any to point out that it was called Old High German 'cause it was, well, old to start with, and because they had a tendency to eat a good deal of ergot fungus infected wheat and wander around tripping balls for days on end. If you study the oldest Germanic tales closely, you'll notice there are several mentions of huge battles against the Romans that the Romans never mention. It's becoming increasingly clear that some tribes had mass hallucinated pitched battles with imaginary enemies.
