Re: My column on Jessica
Very interesting! First I've seen of the falconry connection, and it is attractive. Ben Jonson was famously sarcastic about Shakespeare's school career - he emerged, said Ben, with 'small Latin and less Greek'! A lot must have depended on the teacher, of course. I'm unable to remember having met any Jewish Jessicas here in South Africa, but that proves nothing anyway. I'm most grateful that the link you've provided is working again; looking forward to lots more columns. Thank you!
