Irish Worker Finds Ancient Book of Psalms
By SHAWN POGATCHNIK, A
DUBLIN, Ireland (July 25) - Irish archaeologists Tuesday heralded the discovery of an ancient book of psalms by a construction worker who spotted something while driving the shovel of his backhoe into a bog.
The approximately 20-page book has been dated to the years 800-1000. Trinity College manuscripts expert Bernard Meehan said it was the first discovery of an Irish early medieval document in two centuries.
"This is really a miracle find," said Pat Wallace, director of the National Museum of Ireland, which has the book stored in refrigeration and facing years of painstaking analysis before being put on public display.
"There's two sets of odds that make this discovery really way out. First of all, it's unlikely that something this fragile could survive buried in a bog at all, and then for it to be unearthed and spotted before it was destroyed is incalculably more amazing."
He said an engineer was digging up bogland last week to create commercial potting soil somewhere in Ireland's midlands when, "just beyond the bucket of his bulldozer, he spotted something." Wallace would not specify where the book was found because a team of archaeologists is still exploring the site.
"The owner of the bog has had dealings with us in past and is very much in favor of archaeological discovery and reporting it," Wallace said.
Crucially, he said, the bog owner covered up the book with damp soil. Had it been left exposed overnight, he said, "it could have dried out and just vanished, blown away."
The book was found open to a page describing, in Latin script, Psalm 83, in which God hears complaints of other nations' attempts to wipe out the name of Israel.
Wallace said several experts spent Tuesday analyzing only that page -- the number of letters on each line, lines on each page, size of page -- and the book's binding and cover, which he described as "leather velum, very thick wallet in appearance."
It could take months of study, he said, just to identify the safest way to pry open the pages without damaging or destroying them. He ruled out the use of X-rays to investigate without moving the pages.
Ireland already has several other holy books from the early medieval period, including the ornately illustrated Book of Kells, which has been on display at Trinity College in Dublin since the 19th century.

- moved into dorms on tues or weds, a bit overwhelming but going well, didnt get into teh apt that i wanted to but i am next door to it which is prob better this way i can have my own space. come visit! -J L spoek to the guy she wants to set me up w, hes going to be havinga really stressful work week and wants to wait till the next week so he can give me the attention i deserve. i was so taken aback by that! like wow what a nice guy! i dont think i've ever had that! she said thats actually how nice he is, this could be excellent! wow. -speaking of guys, spoke to phone guy, on phone. havent spoken to him (not im or phone) since moving into dorms. talked abt some things that needed to be talked abt. we also got into a heated convo, that almost turned into an argument, but was somewhat diffused by his saying "wow, are we like almost having an argument? im glad this isnt in person for fear that you might hit me" to which i said "yea it seems that way, good thing im Shomer and dont touch boys". he said he had been thinking abt how he was like the "except" (aka the only boy that im currently close w) and i told hm that after thinking abt it ive relized that there are other guys in my life right now that i might be getting close to and guys from my past that im reconnecting w. im not sure how i feel abt all that but thats another discussion. after the "fight" we had that akward silence and i tried to break it with humor to avoid feeling hurt/anger but i caught myself and told him to call me back in 10 minutes. he called back and things were bttr. -abt the other guy ppl wanted to set me up w....S D the original person who wanted to set me up w him told me that she had gone out w him before going to sem and they broke up bc he didnt think it was appropraite for her tobe dating someone while in sem, which was the nice appropraite thing to do. there was some weirdness between them, neither was really sure what had happened and both were thinking that their ideas were correct but in reality werent, after much thought the 2 meet abt 2 weeks ago and discussed everything and got it all out in the open. she said she didnt tell me this earlier bc she wanted to know the whole story and really be honest w me, which i apprecaite. she warned me that he can be very closed off emotionally and that u really need to pull to get stuff out of him. im a bit worried about that. she said he also has some growing up tp do which is prob the reason why hes still not married. she also noted that his hashkafa might be a bit different from mine and she pointed out something that he did (that was well known) that i dont think is so kosher so thats something to think abt. -in other news, I GOT A B+ IN ENGLISH!!!! she doesnt give a's and i was so worried abt this grade!!! B''H it all worked out. now im only missing one grade. my gpa is 3.7128 woohoo! im actually going to do the work in my hebrew classes this semster so i can get an a instead of b+ in those. -so far seems like this semester will be hard but good. wish me luck! love and faith Current Music: accidentally in love-counting crows | | Saturday, January 28th, 2006 | | 6:44 pm |

nothing like a disney movie to get a person out of a down mood. i find that i have a specail spot for Mulan. i never relized how many funny lines are in it (yes many of them corny but still good). plus theres something abt the music that hasn't been in many of the newer disney movies. i think im on a bit of a chinese/asain fix. read memoirs of a geisha, ate chinese food, and watched mulan, haha im so sterotypical and uncultured. im really fasicnated by the Geisha culture. they seem subservaint but theres so many power struggles behind the scenes. theres so much detail and refinement that goes into it. i've always been interested in things like that. i've always wanted to go to one of those etiquette schools and really learn my manners and be more ladylike.

signed online to check my mail and my grades. most of my grades are in, everything except english and contemp probs in Jewish law. im not really worried abt the Jewish class but im really worried about english. i had never written a formal research ppr before and i got really nervous about it and i just dont want to go into. i emailed Kim and Debra last night/this morning. hopefully will hear back soon. checked my mail and got an email from NCSY taht the Rabbi wrote to their business partners i guess (it said "dear ncsy partners") and it spoke abt stuff happening in the region and abt almost every advisor. to be honest i feel bad that i wasnt included. i worked hard on it and tried to do a good job. after thinking abt it i relize taht a few other ppl were left out as well but i dont know i just feel bummed abt the entire experiience in general. i know that im being to hard on myself in certain areas, i have to relize taht the kids and i will not have this amazing instant connecttion and that its something to work on. it just frustrates me to see other ppl forming such relationships while im doing alot of the behind the scenes work. so i signed online and the boy was on so im-ed him, hoping he could cheer me up a bit. he had a 13 hour day at a work and is exhausted. he went to eat and told me he'd call me later. i doubt ill tell him that the email bummed me out. when i look at the big picture i shouldn't really be bummed but i seem to be stuck in the moment and i kinda want to feel it.

J L asked me a few days ago if i was ready to start dating. i thought this was a bit random but said ok. we spoke abt why i think im ready and all thatstuff that im not really in the mood to get into. she told me that she has a guy shed like to set me up w. hes 22/23, very nice, sweet, good sense of humor, average height, "has amazingly beautiful blue eyes", and works w stocks. sounds good to me. she showed me a pic, hes cute. he also has an ex who cheated on him and then called to tell him that she was engaged, wow. i asked her why she thought of me for this guy and she said that when she was talking to him abt what he wants ina girl he said someone like her (shes dating his friend Avi). she said that i am like her "only without the drama" hahaha. i was happy to hear that. she also mentioned our thing of "sharing guys", we used to have crushes on alot of the same guys. anyway i told her to tell him that im new to the dating thinga nd that im going to be taking things slow, she said he wasvery happy to hear abt the taking it slow part. im excited about this and well see what happens. shes talking to him again on weds so maybe well exchange numbers or something. well see what happens.... love and faith o and ppl want to set me up w another boy. so who know s whats going onw that one. last i heard he was in Israel for vac | | Friday, January 20th, 2006 | | 2:41 am |
o the things that go bump in the night
-over 2 hour phone conversation with the boy. brought up talking to guys and basically told everything. hes the only guy except for R who ive spoken to abt this. i know theres a coincidence. the twoo guys ive opened up to the most and who i feel the most comfortable with. most of the other guys have faded away and i havent had to say anything. ive kept the atitude (aka told ppl who i am uncomfortable telling that i dont talk to guys) that if they want to talk to me they can get in touch w me. i miss Debra and Kim (them, their support and their advice, must call them soon). since im doing NCSY and that is coed and means im working w guys that are arnd my age and such i dont know if i could tell him no and continue to work there. plus im friendly w other guys outside of ncsy. hes just the only one i really talk to tahts a guy. i dont want to hurt him and im afraid that ill hurt myself more than necessary. he goes for late night walks, i think im ripe for one of those. -T is drunk, not good. i have sent her to bed and i hope that she is. no more late night parties w the boys for her, except that shes going back to college which means more of them. -my first grade is in i recieved a b+ in Megillah. i could have gotten an a but i procrastinated and did not do my best. note to self : STOP! -talking to Chayas Elkin (haha) abt grades and Israel today -got out of the house, first time since tues night due to stomach virus. went to Palisades Mall w Dad. bought a 3 cd 90's mix (Hinda i think you, Yeetz, and me are going to have to take a rode trip), Matisyahu cd. Chaia's hair stuff. brown v-neck sweater and brown 3/4 sleeve polo. presents for Yeetz and Hinda. visited the apple store there (didnt know they had one so didnt bring my comp, would it be ridiculous if i named it? i was thinking abt Bernice....). looked at some books there and will order them for cheap online. ordered da vinci code online for Dad (i heart addall.com). ok need to sleep. love and faith amy Current Music: Joan Armatrading-The Weakness on Me (from 10 things sndtrck | | Monday, January 16th, 2006 | | 12:02 am |
post Shabbaton entry...somuch to write that abt but maybe not here bc i think i might finally use my moleskin..... i am very tired, very sore, very black and blue,, and very much wanting to make connections with the kids. i know that im being hard on myself but when i think about the effects that my advisors had on me, its hard not to wish that i could do it for someone else. i have to be patient and let the kids learn taht they can trust me and that i am there for them. a few have made stes towards it and i guess i should try and focus on that. i was placed in a romm w a girl who was in NCSY w me that i dont think i spoke maybe 2 words to. however over the course of the weekend she, her friends and i spoke and become friendly. theres always a reason why Gd puts you in certain places at certain times. there was a bit of a panic when 2 of them went missing a.k.a left the room after curfew and disappeared. they were found and im not sure that they understand what they did or what they were missing. there are always a few ppl who just mock everything abt the Shabbaton and what its about, i have to say that i was pretty open w them and tried to help them as best they could. it upsets me that theyre missing such an amazing oppertunity for closeness w themselves, other ppl, and Gd. but everything at its time. gtg my Bro's home and needs the fam comp, gnight all love and faith | | Thursday, January 12th, 2006 | | 9:07 am |
i don't think i've been up this early in a few weeks. i also actually got out of bd and didn't shhut off the alram and go back to bed for an hour. soooooo tempting. time to get ready for a crazy/awesome weekend...Ncsy Shabbaton here i come. love and faith Current Music: good is good-sheryl crow | | Wednesday, January 11th, 2006 | | 10:36 am |
my aol welcome screen has informed me that Angelina Jolie is supposedly pregnant w Brad Pitts baby (?). i love how this makes headlines, if you think about it every time some one (not just clelebrities) get pregnant, have a baby, etc it should make the news and be celebrated. how crazy is it that two ppl can make another one!? do ppl ever stop and think about that kind of stuff? like "wow i woke up and im breathing! tahts awesome!". on another note, looking at the situation its weird that she'd want to have his baby and put his name onto her kids names. he was married when u started "going out/haviong sex/whatever it is you do". doesn't that make him a cheater and isnt that adultery? call me strange or prude or whtvr but id be hesitant to get into a relationship (esp have babies w) someone who cheated and even more so cheaed while they were married! chill your hormones ppl! if Jews can be shomer you can keep your hands on your souse.oy. |
