Lots of setting down of laws at this wintry afternoon session of the leets. I'm begining to feel like Hammurabi with his tablets (and the cutest little baby tablet with an abridged version of Hammurabi's code chiselled on it can be seen in the Museum of Near Eastern Antiquities in the Topkapi Complex). Or like Justinian, who codified the law of those steady Romans (Eastern Division) who no longer shook the world. Or Gratian, with his human laws divine. Or Napoleon, who burned the midnight oil ("not tonight, Josephine!") to finish his Code.
