I'm not sure that Doc is reading the group for responses so I will copy
& paste this to RCTQ for him. Thanks Mirjam, I thought you might have

I'm reading it - this thread at any rate - and I may have other
questions from time to time as I re/learn about needlework of various
kinds. The women on my mothers side were seriously into just about
everything going back at least three generations (that I know of).
Records beyond that point are long lost on the far side of the pond...

There is also a healthy discussion of this topic going on in
alt.language.latin. If I'd had my act together when I began this
quest, I'd have cross-posted it to all three groups, but I didn't know
about this group until Mary's recommendation, and little did I realize
the intricacies involved in what I na=EFvely thought would be a
relatively simple translation - delirus/excors/fatuus/ineptus/
leviculus/ridiculus (all adjectives meaning silly) me. I'll do that
when everyone seems argued out or gets bored with it. :-)

You are Welcome Tia Mary ,
of course it was only a try on my side , but i weighted all the
possibilities and came up with this one , I think qwe really should
look how it translates ito Italian /French and other Latin langugaes .

There are known Crazy Quilts from the Crusaders time , One
[historical] expert claimed that this were the first recorded Crazy
quilts . We don`t have a `Real Hebrew` name for them , although in the
Bible there is a place were the `Sewers of blankets` are
mentioned .brrr it slipped my mind at this moment where exactly, i
must check my lectures ..

Lunaticus , is something connected to the moon , or a Crescent form ,
It has become another word for crazy later , but if we want the Latin
meaning we need to take demens or fatuus .

Quiltus looks more like Quilibet =3Danyone
