    Why does Bohemian have to be both a toponym and adjective? So fucking confusing.

    There's still hope, even if TM made Avicebron the inventor of Golemancy.

However, if you trace it back further, golems originate from a passage in Genesis that says “The Lord molded man out of the dust of the ground and breathed life into him through his nostrils”.

    Avicebron is the inventor of a whole different thing, that by is Kabbalah. Which is kinda wrong but it's not that crazy to consider it otherwise. It did come from the same place he lived, just a century after

    So TM claims he invented Kabbalah magic, which is definitely wrong? I also remember CF Volume 1 claiming that Kabbalistic theory is a huge source of spells, rituals, and foundations for modern magecraft or something like that. Need to reread.

    No it doesn't claim that either,
    It says he founded the concept of Kabbalah. That is he coined the term and wrote about what is Kabbalah not that he invented all the rituals and stuff
    According to history, Avicebron is said to have imparted his philosophical ideas from Arabia to Europe. Also, he created the word “Kabbalah” from the Hebrew word for “receiving”.
    Avicebron—Solomon ibn Gabirol—was a twelfth-century poet and philosopher, born in
    Malaga, Spain, and the one who brought Greco-Arabic and Jewish lore and enlightment to the
    cultural circles of Europe. He had not achieved glory as a knight or a king would; nor had he
    produced works of art which would live on for a thousand years. However, he was one of the
    starting points for what eventually became the Renaissance in Europe. He was the father of the
    concept of Kabbalah—the Hebrew word for ’tradition'—and thus an entire thaumaturgical
    system; it cannot be denied that he was a 'hero' who heavily influenced the history of the world
    as well as of thaumaturgy.

    Of course, he didn't do that either.

    This is completely off hand but I remember thinking how sad it was that I had no clue "London Bridge is Falling Down" was a thing until they kept going on about it in Hellsing Abridged and I had to look it up.

    That's just poor meme detection instinct on your end.
    McJon01: We all know that the real reason Archer would lose to Rider is because the events of his own Holy Grail War left him with a particular weakness toward "older sister" types.
