So?

Borrow the book, & see if it justifies the cost.

Then, buy or not.

So?
Mail it back to the library.
They’ll take it. If on time, no fees.
I.L.L. books can often be renewed for extra time, too.

A European knight didn’t even have to leave Europe to get credit as a Crusader; he could just go to Poland/Lithuania and kill heathen peasants with the Teutonic Knights.

You know, I seem to recall that being mentioned in one of the prologues to the Canterbury Tales.

Weird hijack…

Honestly it is more #1 than #2. I just find it frustrating not to have sources immediately on hand. One thing I don’t have is an eidetic memory, more’s the pity.

Of course I really am pretty bad at returning things ( or paying bills, for that matter ) on time. I just paid my car insurance yesterday on the very last day before cancellation and not because of any shortage of funds ;). Hyperbole aside ( no I probably wouldn’t quite rack up $100 in late fees ), I’m just not a very responsible library patron. Which slightly bugs me. Hence I’d usually just as soon avoid the hassle and lingering guilt. I like libraries, but I haven’t been in one in five years.

But it is mostly the first reason.

C’mon now - aren’t we all flawed in our own idiotic little ways :)?

It says he was pagan, which shocked me. I had thought that Christianity had spread throughout Europe long before that, at least in some form.
[/QUOTE]
Well, yes. Christianity has spread through North America, too, but we have pagans all over the place, and that was 700 years ago.

[QUOTE=633squadron]
More importantly, what “cult” did he worship? The only northern European “pagan” religions I know are the Celtic cult and Norse mythology, and my impression was that they had died out long before the 14th century.
[/QUOTE]
Several points here:

  1. Pagans don’t necessarily worship cults. Technically, they’d belong to a cult rather than worship it, but either way paganism is not the same as cultism.

  2. Many pagans aren’t part of organized groups at all.
