Mark Thank you for the erudite glossing of FOOBAR. I fear that St. Isidore's reference to Fu Yi may in fact be attributable to posthumous revisions of his original text. The medieval cleric who added the description of Fu Yi was probably a Taoist sympathizer. At least, this was the conclusion presented in an article I found after reading your message. ("Dereferencing FooBar: Karmic Threads in the Pseudo-Isidorian Decretals") According to the author, FooBar derives from Fu Ba Er, literally "Buddha's Eight Earrings." Gary
