The world’s first printed book in Hebrew was Rashi’s commentary on the Bible, printed by Abraham ben Gart in Reggio di Calabria, Italy, in 1475.

Unfortunately, very little is known about the personal life of Abraham ben Garton. Most scholars believe he was born in Spain, and emigrated to Southern Italy's Calabria prior to the expulsion of the Jews from Spain in 1492. Many other Spanish Sephardim also emigrated to Calabria following the expulsion.

The 1475 edition Abraham Garton created and employed, for the first time, a typeface based on a Sephardic semicursive hand. It was this same style of typeface that a few years later, when commentary and text were incorporated onto one page, would be used to distinguish Rabbinic commentary from the text proper. Ultimately, this typeface would be known as Rashi script.

not to sound dramatic but if henry viii hadn't already taken care of that five centuries ago, the wimbledon draw having sinner and berrettini possibly meeting in the 2nd round this year would've definitely been a big enough offense that there'd be a clash between italy and england that would result in a schism in christianity

Went down a bit of a research rabbit hole and found this analysis of the musical structure of "Take Me to Church". The use of and twist on the amen cadence is sly and brilliant and pretentious as fuck in a really great way.
