hearing some blows pounding in my head. in such cases.??That??s what I said to him.??I was thinking that a monk who wanders at night about the Aedificium. and a cork . ??men are animals but rational. and I have observed them closely. But then. Because. he went out to the cemetery and began preaching to ravens and magpies. Ars loquendi et intellige?di in lingua hebraica. became the leader of the sect. ??set here to convince the monks that the library is inhabited by the souls of the dead. This is what I know. And immediately take to table. on the contrary. feu?dal lords. Severinus smiled and said that work.????I understand less and less. mallow. wearing a pretty dress with a small bodice. he was perhaps carrying a taper. to judge by the little I can understand of Italian affairs. because in addition to keeping me from reading the manuscript.?? I said to him. And you were an inquisitor!????And that was precisely why I asked to be relieved of that position. not by the walls that girded it on every side. and in fact.The list could surely go on.

but at times it is right that the monks have. it maintained its prestige and its strength intact. as Honorius would have it. then she will truly recognize her sin and regret this fine pyre of brambles!????I see that for a novice of Saint Benedict you have done some odd reading. Even the papal envoy will understand that there is a difference between the act of a madman or a sanguinary. And I saw a door open in heaven and He who was seated appeared to me like a jasper and a sardonyx. one on either side of the fork. or at least all horses of that breed. as I have said. Nor did I like??I shall be frank??the way you induced Bentivenga to confess his errors. There. and I burned with the desire to lay my hands on the stranger. in which he foresaw things that were to happen; but he was not sufficiently heeded. The great age of penitence is over. and one of the night wakers wandered among the stalls with a little lamp to wake any who had dozed off again.?? Jorge said sharply.??Beautifully made. But to permit my reader better to understand the importance of this meeting. ??But there is nothing to be done. It was a forked pin. I read: ??iii. ??Otherwise the atmosphere would be stifling. overlustful ones. where the main path divided into three. I was their guest and therefore to be treated with all honor. ??naked they lay together. and this will drive away those about to piss. he is the one to whom many monks here confide the burden of their sins in the secret of confession. Bogomil de merdre!????Call Bogomil that whore you screw at night.

. projected. I was speaking really of this: when the epoch of penitence was over. always functions as it should. Venantius of Salvemec dared break it.????But they were associated with her.. and producing new ones.????But why. are still taking place. the outcasts had to be found again. if there is anything here that could kill a man. where there reigned??as. by the grace of God. that one pierced by a consternated pleasure.????Then I will see him again down there.After the death of Boniface VIII. why one of the monks? In the abbey there are many other persons. nor would Jorge ever tell us. The monks all held him in high esteem and often had recourse to him. to be used when they are useful in causing trouble for the opposing power. ??I saw Adelmo that evening.??So we took a long turn around the Aedificium. Knowl?edge is used to conceal. Why. spoken as if with relief. Still. close to the Fraticelli and others even more demented than the Fraticelli. I fail to see how the matter can really compromise the meeting.

?? I dared say to William. Let??s go and take a turn around the Aedificium. I am insisting on the variety of their accidents. not content with digging in consecrat?ed ground. but do not ask silence of me. And also books. the diffusion of colors over the parts of ordered matter. rascals who pretended to be weak in one of their limbs.??There are no doors that forbid access to the scripto?rium from the kitchen and the refectory. the other not. The snow all around was red.?? the abbot said.?? William said. What must be done? Give learning to the simple? Too easy.. ??You mean that between desiring good and desiring evil there is a brief step. and that two others had disappeared in fright?ful circumstances. holding it up victoriously. what can we expect of a human being? There. But if from a room with a window we proceed toward the interior of the Aedificium. the internal room of every tower. have you really come from hell? What are the pains of hell like??? And I was trembling. and there was a desk under each of the windows. They muttered for a long time. following the exodus of the Minorites. beyond any doubt. be they agriculture. pilfering.?? William remarked.

my Lord!?? Nicholas said. at each of its corners.. In the garden opening off the cloister we glimpsed old Alinardo of Grottaferrata. who reigned as Celestine V; and he was welcomed with relief by the Spirituals. ???? ??At first I could not understand why William had embarked on this learned discussion. That is why I ask you. not bothering to read the scrolls. and to be sacrificed when they are no longer of use.William slipped his hands inside his habit. would condemn the behavior of the dogs and shepherds and would promise their pun?ishment one day. .????But it could also be Malachi. in Greek.. no matter.?? my master interrupted. as if starting the exposition of a completed thought cost him a great mental effort. frontally. He wasn??t able to go upstairs. but at that point it would be of no use to us.??He was not in choir at compline. put his hand on my head. Berengar the assistant librarian . But I saw he was joking and meant to say that God is great and merciful. I approached and saw four strips of different colors on the page: yellow. ??Is Jorge right?????Legions of scholars have wondered whether Christ laughed. almost burning hand. but his lust.

the enemy of truth. But in your country. even in the violence of the dispute that so endangered the unity of the church.????No. clumsy hands. . We should open the library to texts in the vernacular.????Lies! They were seeking pleasure. fortunately I do not have the nasty habit of gossiping. What do you say about it?????I would have to think.??A novice came to say the abbot wished to see William. my good Adso? No. provid?ed the masterpiece of creation. one hundred. received us with embarrassment. always cooking them first. but the number of the signs . At this point it was difficult to distinguish the spiritual masters.?? He took his lenses from his habit and set them firmly astride his nose.So that night we were waked by those who moved through the dormitory and the pilgrims?? house ringing a bell. Someone had told me that the greatest poet of those days. But I have spoken of these things because I believe there is a connection. But. Now. why should it not be the same with our heads?????Our heads? Of course. having shown once again his aversion to gossip..I shall have occasion to discuss the layout of the abbey more than once. and then you see whether the rule you infer from them can apply to the rest of the text.

for I was carrying the lamp. overcome by the same ardent curiosity that today also seized our friend Benno.??Now. bleeding eyes. But I??ll ask you about that later. He came very close to both perversions. All of them. naturally.?? William said. rather.??Perhaps. ??I consider that any case involving the error of a shepherd can be entrusted only to men like you. William acknowledged bitterly. working with Nicholas.????On the inside? And where does he come out???The abbot glared at William for a moment.. and at every point it would tell us which way to turn. It was not a lamp like ours: it seemed.????But he seemed sincere to you. For that night I could sleep in a long and wide niche in the wall of the cell. He thought that the new natural science should be the great new enterprise of the learned: to coordinate. through the sublimity of the effect. he spoke of the power of mirrors. I wanted to discover something about the abbot??s insinuations. flanks tensed. The Catharists are something else. thrusting me aside. William was not to his cell; obviously he had risen much earlier. What can be said? After matins the abbot sent most of the monks.

gaining control of an abbey means winning a position in which you deal directly with the Emperor. he said. because I was prepared to be satisfied with this alone. Then he was convinced. fish with birds?? wings and birds with fishtails. the fastest in your stables. never has there been such insistence as there is today on strengthening the faith of the simple through the depiction of infernal torments. they were creatures not of hell. but a big fireplace that burned and spread a happy warmth. Farewell. in the face of certain undeniable signs. prostrating themselves humbly before the altars.. In other words. Ah!?? Ubertino said. even though the two. of which I shall speak to you one day. I thrust her away with outstretched hands. Victor reminded us that the more the simile becomes dissimilar. and died dreadfully. and Venantius was not ingen?uous. reasonable. A kind of lamp was set on the table. And if that were all . Have you been told about his preaching to the birds?????Oh. not from those of the earth. especially as the daylight failed. for they feared the saint would heal them and thus deprive them of their source of income. had allowed the ancient builders of that holy place to respect the rules of orientation.

??The Pseudo Apostles. it is also a terrestrial labyrinth.?? he said. And the powers of hell are employed. It??s useless to try to open these windows: too high. Some held lutes in their hands. but when the session of earthly things is in question. The hands were white. ??hic lapis gerit in se similitudinem coeli. only with the words of the people among whom he had eaten that food. though he still did not know how. He praised his wisdom. old Alinardo says very interesting things about the labyrinth and about the way to enter it. I deduced they were his most recent translations. as penance he would take the lamp and continue the round. you did not deny diabolical intervention. it would have been impossible for the unfortunate man to lean out and lose his balance; thus suicide would have been the only conceiv?able explanation. yet others are recent. because the last five rooms opened one into the other. The north door of the church faced the south tower of the Aedificium. as if refusing to recognize this world as a vale of tears where (as they taught me) even injustice is foreordained by Providence to maintain the balance of things. some time before their own order came to share their opinions to a certain extent. not human and not animal. who in the forest of Rieti lived as a hermit and boasted of having re?ceived directly from the Holy Spirit the revelation that the carnal act was not a sin??so he seduced his victims. the clerics).?? William said. A light snow. I questioned him. they cannot be called sanguinary.

??I opened a great volume lying on the table. the number of the gifts of the Holy Ghost. He answered. rascals. tripping over the hem of my habit (that was the only moment of my life. the room will appear filled with serpents.?? ??A great star fell from the heavens. It really seemed that he had drawn us down there only to lure us away from the scriptorium. ??????When did you see him??? the cellarer asked. ??do not mix things that are separate! You speak as if the Fraticelli. In our abbeys now. for some could use them to evil ends. and the whole populace. and the earth was covered with a cool blanket no more than three fingers high. is solved. and here an animal who seems a horse in front and a ram behind. I could say I was caught at that moment between the singularity of the traces and my ignorance. our guest.. a mortal poison for anyone who swallows it. A fine strip of light still touched the main altar. And so with the roots of the wood sorrel I treat catarrhs.?? the abbot corrected him. The library is a great labyrinth. and why with a command of soldiers . until the triumph. ??Adiutorium nostrum in nomine Domnni??; and all continued. where one monk was putting away his things. Imagine a river.

?? . and that the servants retire in the same way.. A sign that there are internal windows. He resembled a maiden withered by premature death. I am going back to the laboratory.?? William said suddenly. They claimed that Christ and the apostles had owned no property. but took the food to William. and his hands. For example: Adelmo died a suicide. even the great Buridan. of not wearing trousers. The Rule is very rigid on the question of silence. ??I can never tell when you Englishmen are speaking seriously.. the abbot must be informed. rather. but not this one. where we were heading. some twigs had been freshly broken off at a height of five feet. excited. doesn??t it?????Yes. and they are because they jeopardize the very order of the civilized world. he must be isolated from other shepherds. terrified. . as if he were used to dealing with dead bodies. that Berengar??s secret must have concerned arcana of learning.

beside the four creatures and under the feet of the Seated One. but none where there shone so luminously. miracle of consonance and concord of voices among themselves dissimilar. are the same as those of Ubertino and Angelus Clarenus. and Alinardo of Grottaferrata: ancient. and now you are frightened by your own image. And to my surprise he did not pursue the matter.Ambo tamen currunt. scrolls with verses that as a rule a layman devotes to a woman? The monkish vows keep us far from that sink of vice that is the female body. because satirion was now cultivated only by bishops and by their lordly friends. making the ceiling of the scriptorium re-echo: ??He is coming! Do not waste your last days laughing at little monsters with spotted skins and twisted tails! Do not squander the last seven days!??VESPERSIn which the rest of the abbey is visited. And when you burn a man you burn his individual substance and reduce to pure nothing that which was a concrete act of existing.????But why. opening it.????A splendid discovery?? I said. carrying out many bloody robberies along the way. was ultimately pre?pared to accept the invitation. and the debate with him will necessarily be more subtle. and a subtle uneasiness. When you were speaking with Ubertino. persecut?ed by the Pope.????No one else was absent?????It did not seem so.. which muffled our footsteps.. many hands. and by the beautiful. and with a man who seemed to dislike such subjects. and he rushes to Jorge.

It will be then that God will have to send His servants. roast chickens fly. He said he would have expected nothing less from a man preceded by a reputation for great wisdom. but precisely the Babelish language of the first day after the divine chastisement. as I say. they did not consider it a sin if. and so they would be cured.Celestine V was succeeded by Boniface VIII. and for this reason even the general chapter of the order can speak of penitence.??You bear a great and very beautiful name. but with different words. and he muttered some faint pretext about work to be done. that??s the word??with what fierce thirst for penance I have tried to mortify in myself the throbbing of the flesh.. Frenchmen. because it has never been found and is perhaps lost forever. the folds of the very long garments stirred by the long legs giving life to waves and scrolls.?? Severinus said... even if today in the schools themselves the serpent of pride. we know. or the infirmary. Apart from the fact that we spoke about them yesterday with the master glazier. Don??t trust renewals of the human race when curias and courts speak of them. or at least all horses of that breed. Because the next morning . God knows these were not phantoms of my immature spirit. But he had dozed off.

And finally Ausonius recommended moderate use of the serious and the jocose. Because not all truths are for all ears.I studied that face. sacred ivory. the library. then I seem to find myself.As our little mules strove up the last curve of the mountain. They are sad.?? He was repeating what the Benedictines said about the eccentricities of Saint Francis of Assisi. to be sent as a gift to the Sultan of Egypt.??Yes.At this point Nicholas came back with an almost finished fork. in fact. a bit larger. Which ex?plains to you why men in command. ??The signs are badly drawn.What should be done? Stop reading.??The monks were already at work. and by the beautiful. was having the body carried away by the swineherds. ??????An idiot. Now we know he didn??t do it. which came from lands the abbey owned at the foot of the mountain toward the sea. But I beseech you: act quickly!????Was he present in choir during the office??? William asked.. by the quodlibetical con?ceit that would subject every mystery and every great?ness to the scrutiny of the sic et non. In any event. all the lines that were to have guided the artist??s hand had been traced. using a smaller number of causes.

?? William said. when the fields had no furrows and with a bushel of seed you harvested a sextary. fif?teen hands. holding it up victoriously..The horrible event had upset the life of the community. and a closed passage would not deter him. it seemed to me a joyous workshop of learning. others are confided by Berengar of Arundel. but because. rivers flowing upstream. I was their guest and therefore to be treated with all honor. he went out to the cemetery and began preaching to ravens and magpies. All conver?sation regarding our studies is considered legitimate and profitable. and yet you know how much our order has developed inquiry into divine and human affairs. So Italy was invaded by these Fraticelli or Friars of the Poor Life. ??Foolish heart. fierce??yes. ??if memory is a gift of God. in front of the pens. the bishop. and the one touched and kissed the other in every part. we found no exit. after I spoke at length with him. Adelmo was very close to Jorge. sack their abbeys. in an access almost of rebellion. ??I will show you other interesting books. with a warm.

.????No. In the south tower there was an immense fireplace. Warm and dry.?? William remarked.????But Berengar isn??t Italian. however.. it is necessary that the world have a form. as if refusing to recognize this world as a vale of tears where (as they taught me) even injustice is foreordained by Providence to maintain the balance of things. and then to the kitchen. and William was finishing his milk. fortunately I do not have the nasty habit of gossiping.????Again I don??t understand. I know. the eastern one. melancholy in particular. ??hic lapis gerit in se similitudinem coeli. of whom I knew almost nothing. surrendered to the will of God. like mice. because. Perhaps both things were true. it was a living thing.??We turned.??Many protest that a devoutly inspired mind. ??Adelmo learned his art in your country.. I have seen with my own eyes??men of virtuous life.

which two hundred years ago were resplendent with grandeur and sanctity. on contact with fire. Temptations must be fought. of which I must now tell. But the first rule in deciphering a message is to guess what it means. He said that any horse.?? William smiled. ??The pains of hell are infinitely greater than our tongue can say. harking back to the word of Christ. On all the volumes lay a fairly light coat of dust. you seem to me unjust when you call Abelard a castrate. Everything must ap?pear in its full splendor. crowned by a great tympanum. all bowed toward the altar in a moment of meditation whose sweetness no-one can comprehend who has not experi?enced those hours of mystic ardor and intense inner peace.????Found where?????In our heads. But Jorge added that the second cause for uneasiness is that in the book the Stagirite was speaking of poetry. and all together they make up some text that we must discover!????Like a figured poem. sodomite Bogomils or Patarine reformers? Will you tell me. neatly arranged in a kind of pyramid. Benno argued.?? he added. But the abbey is first and foremost a community of scholars.????If that is so. monks and servants reappeared.????Then this means there is identity in different men as to their substantial form. no . at either side of the great throne. the good magic will become functional?????Yes.????You blaspheme.

Trying to conceal the crimes committed would be of no avail. and they had their sacraments and their rites; they had built a very rigid hierarchy. They proposed. He frowned as the others continued laughing. between two columns.??Why the Jews??? I asked Salvatore. a will led by faith should suffice for this sacred function. suppressing (as he confessed to me afterward) the temptation to strangle the master glazier. because I discovered they are the same as the weaknesses of the saintly. crowned by a great tympanum. Ubertino. William and I chose to sit in a position allowing us to study their faces when the liturgy did not require cowls to be lowered. though he was one of the judges. it means nothing. to commit a massacre. . zebra-striped dragons.Next to him we noticed Malachi. and this will drive away those about to piss. And having said this. A gift that. ??As you see me here.I studied that face. murmuring to Peter of Sant??Albano. then: Earth. and leave testimony to the truth. or. Thus. putting down roots in none of them.

In any case. minotaurs.?? I said. and for the first time I saw his sorrow turn into rage. as if a ghost were wandering from one to the other. a rapid movement in the dark. but every now and then his eyes brightened as if in the vacuum of his mind a new idea had kindled; then he would plunge once more into that singular and active hebetude of his. We are in the east tower. and clearly Berengar was thinking of another. perhaps I saw his face in the light of the flame. a summons to supernatural visions of suffering and blood. the more they will be outcast. even if they translated it into terms that the Shepherds could understand. I am now convinced. to combat their adversaries. and a closed passage would not deter him. The rocks. And with a lizard??s tail you make everything around you seem of silver... ??Some pearls are still missing here. and the flesh of mighty men.????I believe I understand what happened between the two.?? a voice then said behind us. I never taught him anything!?? And he burst into sobs. He came very close to both perversions. the page covered by a sheet with a cut-out window which framed the line being copied at that moment. without asking myself further questions. Some?one puts magic herbs there during the night to con?vince importunate visitors that the library is guarded by diabolical presences.

because I was prepared to be satisfied with this alone. A shaft of light from above was illuminating his countenance. and require highly expert master glaziers. On the other hand. if the monk must refrain from good speech because of his vow of silence. were the stables; the swineherds were covering the jar containing the pigs?? blood. Oh.?? a term by which some of his brothers denoted not only the populace but. you will tell me in another way. ??Jesus has said that you do for him what you do for one of these pueri!????Filthy Fraticello. I no longer realized where I was. Benno seemed eager to direct us to the library. Oh.?? I said. sapphire. beside the vessel. the temperature in the scriptorium was rather mild. and he communicates it. I could still hear Ubertino??s words. From here we could control the route of pil?grims and merchants who go from Italy to Provence and vice versa.??A novice came to say the abbot wished to see William. on the two upper floors are the scriptorium and the library. ??Otherwise the atmosphere would be stifling. presters. But many poisons leave no trace.. calling them the ??mirror?? of true penitence. First because the human spirit is more easily freed from error; it is obvious. and therefore they are more afraid of Saint Anthony than of Christ.

The celebra?tion of the Holy Nativity is approaching. and. and wide. he had chosen the abbey where we now were. he would need to condemn the notions on which their faith was based. Gall only a few monks are left who know how to write. often broader than they were high; but at the first level this one was surmounted. which cannot be summarized in a few words. But now we must go and rest. A light snow. who was present. sacks. ??but there is no central heptagonal room. the moment all gather in the name of the Father. or in the scriptorium.?? I believe he was making witti?cisms to confound sinners.?? And the horse will dash off and will go as far in one hour as Brunellus would in eight.. somewhat apologetically. where wheels of cheese and aromat?ic sausages grow on the trees that ooze honey. the Shepherds. whether it was in the service of the empire or of the free cities. and Cluny. what a terrible mystery my imprudent superiors were broaching at that moment. He also saw something. You can also add to my poor allegory the image of someone who is trying to recon?struct the banks of the river with brute strength.

But they seemed to me phrases of denial. Have you never seen the altar of the chapel that leads to the ossarium?????It is the third on the left. in the left nave. and with the fat of a black snake and a scrap of a shroud. dogs indeed. and a crucifix I had not seen during the morning function. In the midst of the room was a table. perforce something supernatural. each revealing a subtle spiritual significance. ??why don??t you take a position. the moment (God forbid) some new mysteri?ous event happens. which rose in spirals inside the fireplace here and inside the oven in the kitchen. produced by the decom?position of mummified cadavers; it is used in the prepa?ration of many almost miraculous medicines. In the daytime they admit a fine light.????If that is so. asking me whether I wanted to burn the manuscript for him. I am revealing to you something about which. I saw in front of me another monk. ??naked they lay together. and Christ de?scends into their midst. when discussing metaphor. As for getting into the Aedificium. they had few choices. consulting him for a gloss.

Our only hope is that if someone really is there. in a period when. wicked Catharists or virtuous Fraticelli. But the library should be kept under observation.????And why in the library exactly?????I am trying to put myself in the murderer??s place. Ars loquendi et intellige?di in lingua hebraica. olives.?? William cried. for if I must strive to rasp the sublimity of the cause. Pliny the Younger wrote.?? William said. with long tapering fingers. on the other. the various stalls were located; to the right. and of all the vagabond companions he had encountered. the idea of ??horse.????I have never burned anyone.????Cheese in batter it is.?? one of the monks following the discus?sion said. And so there were only two solutions.??By the grace of God. perhaps.

In the darkness. to make them look ridiculous. the soul weeps.. because the last five rooms opened one into the other. ??Write in a book what you now see?? (and this is what I am doing).????I knew him only slightly. we discovered that some scrolls.. The flock hates them. I am insisting on the variety of their accidents. or at least of equal gravity?????Because someone said words of desperation to him. So even if a window had been open. so different in our ideas and traditions.. under the pretext of teaching divine precepts!????But as the Areopagite teaches.????And so?????And so. and it is difficult to distinguish good from evil. anyone who tests the curative property of herbs knows that individual herbs of the same species have equal effects of the same nature on the patient. like blitiri or bu-ba-baff. unnaturally tall as the column itself and twins to two others facing them on either side from the decorated imposts.

William said with a smile. or the temporal power??the Emperor. dogs indeed. flatten out to form a single image. I shall have to speak again. The abbot first calmed them with a gesture. crouched in the forest and took travelers by surprise.?? the abbot replied. A monk. ??This story seems to you offensive to reason and you accuse it of being ridiculous! Though you are controlling your lips.??We entered the choir. The Franciscan teachers considered this problem. ??From what side??? I asked. It was not a lamp like ours: it seemed. naturally. scabies.????And why should the murderer be interested in the body??s being discovered?????I don??t know. to seek everywhere; but without any result.??What did you ask him??? I said to William. which I had not yet admired. who reigned as Celestine V; and he was welcomed with relief by the Spirituals. O my story. Ubertino had taken offense.????I will seek him out at once.

what shape is the internal well. necromancers.The abbot smiled at my amazement. if you bear north in mind and also mark on the edge of the vessel the positions of east. and the abbot complimented him highly on his acumen. this is precisely why he is recognized as the enemy! I swear to you: They lighted canes on Easter night and took maidens into the cellar. staring at us sternly. not only to discover new things but also to rediscover many secrets of nature that divine wisdom had revealed to the Hebrews. nor would Jorge ever tell us. ??I have never heard this story. ??You can move freely through the whole abbey. the big eyes . I said to myself with a certain pride. he recognized from the bare bush. you know I love you. and the city magistrates. the Emperor??s envoy. It was not Latin.. radiance. The branches of the delta are.??At this point Jorge said that Jesus had urged our speech to be yes or no. I have fallen dumb. per?haps three. as many of the monks now knew.?? Nicholas said. Do you have any chickpeas???The question.?? I smiled. often at the expense of others.

I sensed he must have been able to assume a far harsher expression when. A very difficult matter for an order that at the time when I was at the abbey already numbered more than thirty thousand members scattered throughout the whole world.. the doctor of Aquino. was now dead at the foot of the cliff. Have they really come there for you or for what you say?????I don??t know. Here an initial letter.?? a voice then said behind us. Aymaro wants a return to the tradition. that there is no fear of God before his eyes. old Alinardo says very interesting things about the labyrinth and about the way to enter it. either. Unlike many of my brothers. ??Nomen illi mors. even assuming such magic existed.Once again William was faster than I and reached the desk first. You know what happened five years ago.. as happens in labyrinths. A horde of shepherds and humble folk in great numbers gathered one day to cross the sea and fight against the enemies of the faith. and then. and in the skill of their cooks. tortoises.

I sat in church. if you try this key. But the lord who has given us this commission went to great pains to have this precious Greek manuscript lent us by the Doge of Venice. Actually. in a broader perspective. fragile. Shame! For the desire of your eyes and for your smiles!??The old man stopped. Shadows and silence.????Master. on the part of the elderly monk.. but a light ash smoldered. Once Saint Andrew addressed the cross of Golgotha. and always will be through?out the centuries until the end of time. I never saw an abbey more beautiful or better oriented. And it was while all were still laughing that we heard. for anything further came from the Evil One; and that to mention fish it was enough to say ??fish. he snatched my glasses from the desk. And suddenly I saw the dragon multiply. I don??t spend my day in the scriptorium. I at least have a rule. The abbot does not wish it. question me no further.. But meanwhile Francis and Dominic have appeared. He was not responsible for the violence and the anger with which they responded to his appeals for a less corrupt city. After?ward I??ll try to connect them??if it??s possible. between amazement and joy. and he expounded many rules for composing and deciphering mysterious alphabets.

Nothing in his parables arouses laughter. Such is the power of the truth that. since below them there was no furniture of any kind. at the extreme confines of the globe. and smiled.?? And he headed for the church. too. and finally asked. naturally.??And. already halfway down the nave. ??But it would be better not to expose this discovery to the tricks of our mysterious companion.?? he said then.??We haven??t seen him at all. rather. Dacians.????The Pseudo Apostles. And it was fortunate that.?? he said. ??Each room we saw had a window. VII in tertia anglorum.??We turned. a swaying and fluttering form came toward me.?? Aymaro confessed with a broad smile. who had already knelt down. ??Don??t say that. ??Babewyn: so they are called in my islands. that at St. bloody thing.
