synopsis: Tim Finnegan the masterbuilder — his tower?
FDV: "Bygmister Finnegan, builder, lived on the broadest way imaginable" →
"Bygmister Finnegan of the Stuttering Hand, builder, lived in the broadest way imarginable in his {rushlit} toofarback for messuages"
Bygmester Finnegan, of the Stuttering Hand,
Norwegian: bygmester/byggmester: master builder, architect (bygge = to build)
Ibsen's play: Bygmester Solness (The Master Builder)
Parnell and Lewis Carroll stuttered [motif] hesitancy
trembling / handwriting (cf Mamafesta)
Tim Finnegan (not a master builder) was shaking from drink before he fell [song]
masturbation [motif]
farfetched: Nancy Hand's (pub) [info] (did the pub's sign ever depict a hand?)

"imaginable" → "imaginoble" (broad... noble)
in his rushlit toofarback for messuages
rushlight: candle made from rush dipped in grease
slang rushlight: liquor? [misreading?]
Dublin slang farback: maybe a tenement consisting of two back rooms instead of the usual one front and one back [cite]
what sort of dwellingplace is a "toofarback for messuages"? a hideout? (surely not a tower??)
messuage: dwelling house plus adjacent land and buildings (so far back it has no adjacent land or buildings?)
messages (Shaun the Post can't find it?)
before joshuan judges had given us numbers
Pentateuch/Torah = (Genesis, Exodus,) Leviticus, book of Numbers and Deuteronomy
followed by Joshua, Judges, (Samuel and Kings)
Joshua
Judges
Numbers
too far back in history for the sorts of messages that need numbers? pre-Biblical
or Helviticus committed deuteronomy
Latin Helveticus: Swiss (the typeface is later)
Claude Adrien Helvétius (1715-1771) author of heretical/burned philosophy book [wiki] or his ancestor Helvétius (Johan Friedrich Schweitzer): freethinker and alchemist
Leviticus
commit to writing
commit sin/crime
Deuteronomy (Hebrew name means 'book of words')
numbers/words
