What would ape skins look like and why would they be called that? If, indeed, as appears, these are leggings for an angel's costume, are they the kind of tawed leather that elsewhere is used to indicate nakedness for Adam and Eve? And why call them "apes' skins"? Maybe we should reconsider that pun on "buskins"! :-) Alan -----Original Message----- >From: CARNAHAN SHIRLEY E <[log in to unmask]> >To: [log in to unmask] <[log in to unmask]> >Date: Sunday, February 20, 2000 2:51 AM >Subject: Re: "Apis skinns" yet again > > >>Do we need to assume that the hair was left on the skins? >>If it was not, then the angels would not be hairy. :-) >> >>***************************************************************** >>Dr. Shirley Carnahan Comparative Literature and Humanities >>Instructor/Undergraduate Advisor [log in to unmask] >>(303) 492-5444 Campus Box 331 University of Colorado at Boulder >>***************************************************************** >
