Rebecca Stephens Falcasantos @rsfalcasantos.bsky.social · 13/08/2026Picks up more in the 420s, at least In the east. And I agree with Andrew here that this evidence is largely for cities. Countryside is 🤷♀️ in many places. 190
Rebecca Stephens Falcasantos @rsfalcasantos.bsky.social · 13/08/2026Sundays and festival days. Defunding of temples and restrictions on “pagan” (and later Christian factions not supported by the imperial court) as a way of eliminating those spaces as options in the cities. But that process is still rather piecemeal until the mid-390s. 190

Rebecca Stephens Falcasantos @rsfalcasantos.bsky.social · 09/07/2026PS: Worth looking up Samuel Ben David Nahmias/Giulio Morosini and his La via della fede). 010
Rebecca Stephens Falcasantos @rsfalcasantos.bsky.social · 09/07/2026That could have made its way into Christian pre1850 commentary traditions through consulting Mather’s manuscript, but print copies are only recently available (and expensive). Still, the presence of this idea in Christian “tradition” should probably be treated cautiously. 010
Rebecca Stephens Falcasantos @rsfalcasantos.bsky.social · 09/07/2026Oh, quick update, bc I just rechecked our volume: Cotton Mather references 316 precepts in his Biblia Americana. There he cites Samuel Nachmias as asserting they “are observed by no body,” and thus “confut[ing] all Jewish Superstition.” See CM Bib Amer v8, p821 {proofs; my publ copy isn’t at hand}. 220
Rebecca Stephens Falcasantos @rsfalcasantos.bsky.social · 09/07/2026I’ve not seen it mentioned in any English biblical/theological commentaries prior to 1845, and those all point to Maimonides. Certainly not something I’ve patristic authors mentioned (and that’s where I’d go to find a Christian “tradition”) 130
