This past week a worker digging an excavation in a bog in Ireland unearthed an ancient fragment of the Book of Psalms. Officials at the National Museum of Ireland, simultaneously ecstatic and gobsmacked, estimate that it is more than 1000 years old. The Irish Times reported that “The farmer on whose land it was found notified museum staff immediately.” Kudos to that farmer, first for recognizing the importance of this cultural artifact and, second, for placing it in the custody of an appropriate cultural institution rather than putting it up for sale on eBay!
