Description
A humorous tale of a fictional scholar from the 4th century, and his skull. The inspiration for the story stemmed from the mistaken belief of Maurice W. Moego's students that "ibid." (an abbreviation for the Latin "ibidem," meaning "in the same place") was the author's surname. The piece, in the process, serves as a satire on academic erudition and the meticulousness of scholarly work.
