Summary:

Here follows the first translation of the Historia Johannis, commonly called "The Hermit's Tale."

I knew I was going to love this story when I saw that it had a whole separate column for the footnotes. Actually, the library copies of the canon that I read were laid out like this as well, so maybe I just have a typographical type.

what

Cotton Domitian [A.]viii ends its Anglo-Saxon Chronicle on f. 70, and the next piece bound in is Torigni's chronicle. Fine to change that, but head hurts. Off to read it anyway :) (and I don't really know/do Holmes fandoms).

[mayhap]

I missed this comment before and this is the best insta-reaction ever. :D
