Five volumes, 1989, in mint condition. Today was a very,
very good day.

Mesure is Medicine þauh þou muche ȝeor[n]e.
Al nis not good to þe gost þat þe bodi lykeþ,
Ne lyflode to þe licam þat leof is to þe soule.

Passus I, lines 33 - 35

Well, I didn't know what this was (apart from knowing what The Torah
is), so I googled it.

It turns out to be an immense work of Scriptural scholarship from the
Jewish Publication Society, currently out of print according to their
website. The individual volumes seem still to be available, but that
would cost even more than the $360 shown as the set price. (I assume
Francis paid less than that...)

A find, indeed.

Much less, indeed.
