Peter prompts this disciple to inquire about the identity of the betrayer whom Jesus has recently foretold: “That one, then, leaning back this way on the chest [ἐπὶ τὸ στῆθος] of Jesus says to him, ‘Lord, who is it?’” (13:25). Near the end of the gospel these details resurface when the narrator identifies “the disciple whom Jesus loved” with a retrospective reference to him as the one “who also leaned back at the dinner on the chest [ἐπὶ τὸ στῆθος] of Jesus” (21:20). What do these narrative details mean? What should reclining in the lap of Jesus be taken to imply? For answers scholars refer to well-known and muchrecycled comparanda from the Septuagint (the earliest Greek translation of the Hebrew scriptures) and early Christian literature. In the Septuagint a depiction of a mother or nurse holding a child in the lap or bosom suggests breastfeeding. In Luke 16:22 and 16:23, Lazarus reclines in the lap of “father” Abraham, which suggests parental cradling, fatherly warmth, and benevolence.

Bedri quickly rose through the ranks of Ottoman civil officialdom as he was a close friend of Talaat, the powerful interior minister who became grand vizier in 1917. Bedri was appointed as a prosecutor in the Beyoğlu district of Istanbul in April 1912 and became police commissioner of Istanbul in 1914. As police commissioner, he was “equipped with the near dictatorial powers he was given over Constantinople’s public life” by the ruling Committee of Union and Progress (CUP), the secret society that plotted the 1908 Ottoman constitutional revolution and deposed Sultan Abdülhamid II a year later.

To conclude his defense of his countrymen, Fogarty closed his letter with a sarcastic sign-off, asserting exactly what he thought was wrong with the people of County Clare: “It is that they have the manliness to stand up against tyranny, and to flourish the Flag of Irish Independence in the face of [Dublin] Castle hacks.” The fierce imagery Fogarty evoked, painting the English not only in their barbarian ancestry but also through five counts of sexual criminality and immorality, was not unique.
