Most random "Tea Party" protest sign

posted by [personal profile] orichalcum at 01:44pm on 17/04/2009
Who knew that the political right had it in for late antique and medievalist manuscript commentators?

I mean, okay, scholiasts get really pedantic, and they write all over the margins, but I hadn't realized they were such a major political force. The one on the right is similarly difficult to comprehend.

This kind of stuff makes me want to organize protests against the Joker's reign of terror, or something, and then see how many people actually believe he's out there.

Dude, the Joker blew up substantial sections of my husband's office building! (It was actually a bit unnerving seeing that happen in the movie, as we lived a block away from his office.) :)

Wow. Proving again that really, if there's ONE THING you're going to proofread, perhaps your huge protest sign should be that thing.

not to be doubly pedantic, but i've never seen scholiast used for high or late medieval commentaries. (maybe it's only used for medieval commentaries on classical texts, which i haven't looked at, though)

It's the standard term used for early medieval commentaries on classical texts, in my field...What do you use scholiast for?

Yeah, I've never used it either, and seen it only rarely. Maybe it's a very early medieval thing?
