"Girls' cultural work has long been assumed to be secondary, derivative, and belated - or else entirely nonexistent. This book demonstrates, instead, that girls are very often the first to do many things. For example, the tenth-century German abbess, Hrostswitha of Gandersheim, composed six Latin plays to be read and performed by the girls of her convent for the purposes of learning Latin and receiving religious instruction. These plays are the work of the first known female dramatist and are the first post-classical dramatic compositions produced in Europe. Moreover, this significant event in theatre history is motivated by girl-oriented subject matter: the lives of virgin martyrs and holy anchorites. The sixteenth-century publication of Hrotswitha's plays represents a further watershed moment in the history of the book and the theatre. Published in Nuremberg by the humanist scholar Conrad Celtes, and including woodcuts by Albrecht Dürer, the 1501 Opera Hrosvite contains the first printed works by a female playwright as well as the first printed volume of plays by a post-classical dramatist. Plays about girlhood, written for and performed by girls, thus constitute foundational works in literacy and theatre history, as well as in the history of the book."

me drowning in a lake while my friend, 11th century french rabbi and prolific scriptural commentator Schlomo "Rashi" Yitzchaki (zy"a) stands nearby: help im drowing help me rashi

Schlomo "Rashi" Yitzchaki (zy"a): "drowing" is likely a scribal error for "drowning." "im drow[n]ing" is to say: my lungs have become filled with water, and i am struggling to breathe. "help" once followed by "help me" a second time: the first [help] is directed to the Holy One, blessed be He, and means: "may He help us by swiftly delivering the World to Come;" the second (i.e., "help me") is to invoke direct assistance in this world, spoken as if to a personal friend. the meaning of "rashi" here is unclear.
