"This is basically a huge scholarly paper and it is horrifying and I am enjoying it. It's a little slow-going, partly due to academic language but more due to the really really messed up implications." — Oct 19, 2017 05:32AM

“Over two thousand Byzantine manuscripts devoted to medical works survive in European libraries. A third of these contain works by a single author such as the second-century Galen of Pergamon; the remaining manuscripts have selections from different classical and Byzantine medical writers.

Not just the house, but the ancient trees, the watching insects, the stars and even the moon. But they have all lived without us for lifetimes that make our own look like the blink of the eye.
