Declined Request Enkheiridion Grimorium Leonus Magnus

[CTowers]

I happen to own this book but I am looking for a PDF version, so I can copy and paste the prayers instead of transcribing them. I have the Spanish version, but can't find it in Spanish nor English.

 

[HoldAll]

Your request is all messed up. First of all, it’s „Enchiridion Grimorium Leonis“, not "Enkheiridion Grimorium Leonus ". Then it turns out that a book with no such title exists and that it’s in all probability „Enchiridion Leonis Papae“ by Carlo Magno, freely available from pdfcoffee.com in Spanish and in French. I could now waste half an hour to look for an English version but frankly I’ve had enough of this sloppy request.

Moreover, I suspect this is a veiled request for a Spanish-language book (= rule violation) since you have the book in Spanish anyway and now look for a more convenient (sheesh!) way to transfer text. You mention an English version as well, so I’ll let it slide, but I’m giving you a verbal warning for making such a muddled request and wasting everybody’s time, including mine.

Book Request No. 2: "Give as many details as possible, including accurate title, author, publisher, edition/volume, and if possible, add an image"

You failed to comply with even the minimum requirements here and then expect us to do you a favour? Not gonna happen.

Dear HoldAll,
Thank you so much for the tip on the title "Enchiridion...". No wonder I wasn't finding a copy in Spanish or English, I was using the spelling from the "Editorial Nuevo Mundo" version, "Enkheiridion", which happens to be Greek, (info) below. Once I tried the search with the spelling you suggested, I was able to find the book in Spanish!! Thanks!! Nevertheless, the book is actually credited to Pope Leo III, who supposedly gave it to Charlemagne for his protection. What I didn't realize was that Michael Cecchetelli included his translation of this book on Crossed Keys, which I got from you guys. The book is not that famous and kind of rare, but I think his uses of God names and similar is quite refreshing.

On the other hand, you are right, I was sloppy and failed to meet the minimum standard for a book request. I also failed to realize that asking for books in any other language other than English was a rule violation. But it wasn't a veiled request, I actually stated quite openly that I have the book in Spanish, and the purpose was to "copy and paste the prayers instead of transcribing them". So, I guess I should go over the rules again, because it seems I could get in hot waters and could... I guess get banned or something. I mean, I have downloaded more books that I could probably read in this lifetime from the site (thanks again!), but still wouldn't want to have to open another account with a different email just to stay up to date.

What I didn't realize or expect was that I would trigger such a disproportionate response from a "sloppy request". Fortunately, I did not take it personally, I mean, we don't know each other, so it couldn't be personal (healing hint #1, don't take things personal). And quite frankly, the tone of your response and how you find a way of stoking yourself to a boiling point, speaks more about you than anything else. I mean, my wife is the one holding a PsyD and my PhD is in Hispanic literature, but if you were a character, I would say your rant points to unresolved issues and the need to heal.

For example, considering you (or the character), don't want to waste your time, you did spend an awful lot of time unloading on me some sort of resentment you seem to have with either your life in general or something you are going through right now (can tell without reading more about the character.) This pent-up frustration usually speaks about someone who feels unappreciated, undervalued or powerless in a personal or professional capacity (wife, boss, life in general). I could speculate the character might be an actual academic, since the attitude mimics the absurdity of Academia. Meaning, Academic attitude indirectly acknowledges there is actually very little at stake by pretending that the simplest transgression to the formal rules of Academic expression are capital sins to be punished by death. I should know, since my dissertation is a direct attack to the pretentiousness of academic thought that discards folk knowledge as illegitimate or inferior. When I pair this to the need of belittling someone who you think is under your "power", or below you, while vaguely "warning" about the serious consequences of a trivial situation, and then "forgive" said transgression. I can help but feel compassion for said character (I call your actions the actions of a character, because I know those words are not your real self, and I don't know you at all.) The character is obviously feeling powerless or oppressed, and is yet to realize they need to heal, do some shadow work or simply move the fluff out of whatever situation is making them feel "dominated" (maybe is a curse, maybe is trauma, only the character can find out.) So, maybe the character could take a look at the mirror and consider they might need to heal, do shadow work, do some serious uncrossing ritual and stop being a "Richard" to those they feel they can dominate. To (mis)quote Paulo Freire (by not including the first part of his quote) "the dream of the oppressed is to become the oppressor". After all, you either get bitter or get better.

So, I guess this is my compassionate way of telling you: your tone is disproportionate, and you don't have to be such a dck about a silly mistake. And I do get you, man, I really do, I have been "a fool & a flutterer, a liar & a sorcerer, so fickle that I scorn the bridle, unchaste & voluptuous & idle"... "But I'm tryin', Ringo. I'm tryin' real hard to be a shepherd."

Amazing, how much you are reading into my response.

Anyway, you made a muddled request, no matter how I worded my reply, and that's all there is to it.
