A  Medieval  Riddle…   “[Who  am  I?]  An  enemy  ended  my  life,  deprived  me  of   my  physical  strength:  then  he  dipped  me  in  water  and   drew  me  out  again,  and  put  me  in  the  sun  where  I  soon   shed  all  my  hair.    Aher  that,  the  knife’s  sharp  edge  bit   into  me  and  all  my  blemishes  were  scraped  away;  fingers   folded  me  and  the  bird’s  feather  ohen  moved  over  my   brown  surface,  sprinkling  meaningful  marks;  it  swallowed   more  wood  dye  and  again  travelled  over  me  leaving  black   tracks.    Then  a  man  bound  me,  he  stretched  skin  over  me   and  adorned  me  with  gold;  thus  I  am  enriched  by  the   wondrous  work  of  smiths,  wound  about  with  shining   metal.”     “I  am  a  Gospel  book,  illuminated  and  wri6en  on  prepared   vellum  leaves  and  bound  in  fine  golden  cover!”
