..................

Didn't know the Roma had any "centralized" leadership, as in "King". Didn't know they were native to Jerusalem. Didn't know there were large(?) numbers of Muslim Gypsies. I thought they were dispersed Indians (country), which I suppose doesn't conflict with arriving with Saladin.

I know this doesn't seem important, but with the erasure of cultures currently endemic in the Middle East, it is.

There is a detailed description of Gypsies in Sir Walter Scot’s book “Quentin Durward”.

I later looked it up and his description was about as good as any. He said they probably originated in Egypt tho they claim to be from Romania.

Have not read that. I always assumed they were eastern European. But probably based on movies. Egyptian would work. I will look up the book

I watched the entire movie "Snatch" and did not realize Brad Pitt was in it until the credits rolled. A fine bit of acting he did.

Remember, periwinkle blue.
