For some strange reason, he had it made from the skull of his bitterest enemy, Bishop Richard Cumberland of Peterborough, England, learned a new language in the year 1716 when he was 85 years old.

In order to read the new edition, Bishop Cumberland mastered Coptic within a year. He never regretted this great mental effort, although he died two years after his crowning achievement.
