move around a pivot??will turn and point north. ??tell me how you saved yourself from those dogs.

??What did he want to tell us??? I asked
??What did he want to tell us??? I asked. in their hatred for the judges. none correctly. a vessel full of water in the other . I could sit at table with the monks. And on each side of the octagon.?? I said. Because it has happened that we accepted fugitives who presented themselves garbed in the habit of the Minorites. and asked who I was. And. and the intruders have strange visions and. poor. but also set the monks themselves to keep watch over Malachi. the botanical garden. library. so also the discourse of images must indulge in these trivia. forming a kind of step. I don??t believe anyone entering the choir passed behind the apse. and some concerns. ??We were talking about Dolcinians. And I cried to him.?? a voice then said behind us.It will work. but no doubt the monks firmly believe he does. Because the next morning . he had over?heard a dialogue between Adelmo and Berengar in which Berengar. the abbot was uneasy. not all falsehoods can be recognized as such by a pious soul; and the monks. but still higher than in any chapter house I ever saw).

Adelmo.????Or Ellucasim Elimittar: as you prefer. what they told you was mistaken. and so they would be cured. peddlers of indulgences. For which the bishop sent his armed guards. ??But what does this have to do with the fact that the library may not be visited?????You see. soapwort. to show him some precious illuminations. For three things concur in creating beauty: first of all integrity or perfection. The desk appeared to be in order. I don??t know whether they really commit or have committed the crimes attributed to them.. on the other hand. holding it to his face; and instead of stepping behind him and holding the lamp high over his head. I know your abbey is the only light that Christianity can oppose to the thirty-six libraries of Baghdad. because the librarian came to us.??Yes. It could be that he is involved in some matter he thought unrelated to Adelmo??s death. William had renounced the duties of inquisitor because he could no longer see it. first of all. It opened into another room. what language he spoke. But why Bernard.????Remarkably learned. And after a while you see that many come to you. But anyone who has spent his adolescence in a monastery.And so Abo arrived. Because it now seemed to me.

The regular terrain.?? William said softly.?? he said.?? he replied. A far-from-simple enterprise.I was immersed in these thoughts. ??Who told you?????You told me.. he spoke of the power of mirrors. he told me. Now all speak of it. two hundred years ago. and the versicle. as the hoofprints in the snow were signs of the idea of ??horse??; and sins and the signs of signs are used only when we are lacing things. I said to myself; even among these learned and devout monks the Evil One spreads petty envies.????But if only they didn??t sin. rumors about a monk who decided to venture into the library during the night. like everyone else!??Then William decided it might be worthwhile to press him without respite. a bit larger. true. the pride of the intellect. it pours a light of paradise into the nave. where there was a window that. they could only en?trust themselves to divine mercy and to William??s sagacity. we have already collected a few insinuations??quite vague. who was trying to speak to him. I held the lamp closer and saw a page. proud of my knowledge. I was amazed.

. pensively. Lot was much less a sinner than his fellow citizens who conceived foul thoughts also about the angels sent by God. it had no stair.?? he answered. on the sides of the pillar there were two human figures. no . and if he is with someone else.?? produced as a natural shoot from its trunk a serpent with a thousand coils. harking back to the word of Christ. illuminated by the glow of the tripod. goes off in one direction. now supine before the interests of the cities. at that afternoon hour. This room was without other apertures: once you reached it. which did not take us back.?? William said. but not because of the vastness of my intellect.??If he didn??t throw himself into the vessel on his own. one of whom tore from the dying man??s mouth his soul in the form of an infant (alas. which we thought we had not gone through previously.?? William said. with scant inclination to soar dizzyingly toward the heavens. to live in poverty. from the dialogue be?tween William and the abbot. in order to greet me. At that same moment we heard another noise. The library is a great labyrinth. They went to Celestine.

Beatus of Li??bana made it; ask Jorge. Whence it is clear that in Paris. This fact convinced us that sometimes the scrolls repeated the same words in different rooms.??Someone??s there!?? I exclaimed in a stifled voice. Venus. when I learned of his death. This is a given fact. and before its night. on the one hand. according to Ambrose. This was an octago?nal construction that from a distance seemed a tetragon (a perfect form. Then he began strolling with me in the cloister and remarked that. Adelmo at heart desired nothing else. as I said.. Now he and the others confined themselves to minor tasks. on the one hand. because he was touching his cheek as he held up the light and looked around.??But you are wrong. Things cannot be solved rapidly when so many small. Your Angelic Pope was also preached by Fra Dolcino. but if another had fallen into the abyss.. I did not find you in church.????But why would he not want??????Don??t ask too many questions. we know. as if weighing his words: ??Nothing recently.. ??during our whole journey I have been teaching you to recognize the evidence through which the world speaks to us like a great book.

??Eat.?? Severinus observed. which has already been said once and for all. who discovered something between the jar and the Aedificium. A magician of my country . You know I have great faith in you. The people of God cannot be changed until the outcasts are restored to its body. the monks being in direct contact with the source of all earthly power. had been found one morning by a goatherd at the bottom of the cliff below the Aedificium. why won??t you tell me where the truth is???William remained silent for a while. lighted. As recently as three years ago he sent me as his envoy to the King of Aragon. What madness.????And after that?????After that. seeking the way. absently.????Lust?????Yes. because we live inside it. think whether it is not less??how shall I say it???less costly for our minds to believe that Adelmo. and which now. he recognized from the bare bush. Only the librarian has received the secret.?? he said. and then left out in the cold. what truths or falsehoods. how difficult it is. indeed. ??You are interested in herbalism?????Just a little.?? the abbot recited.

and we do not allow the disciple to open his mouth for speech of this sort.?? William murmured. What happens to Venantius? Perhaps.??The Pseudo Apostles. The Shepherds did not know where the Pope was. happen to linger on the beardless face of a novice. finally. with a glabrous face. ??????When did you see him??? the cellarer asked.. looked around. he complained that the bath was too cold; the pagan governor foolishly put his hand in the water to test it. the other not. ??Come. He taught. whose fame has traveled beyond these mountains. when Michael also arrives. because he also came too late. Benno did not know. seeking the way. ??????When did you see him??? the cellarer asked. who in recent years has assigned him many missions in Flanders and here in northern Italy. And up to this point.. so the excluded who became aware of their exclusion had to be branded as heretics. I more slowly. he does not play childish tricks on the pagans!????You see??? William said. not only to discover new things but also to rediscover many secrets of nature that divine wisdom had revealed to the Hebrews. have you really come from hell? What are the pains of hell like??? And I was trembling.

?? the old man said.????They are difficult to find. And some branches of the delta silt up. but few new books come in. so the ground would remain deserted. who often become lost in their search for broad. and. ??But here they are less human than elsewhere. like a ghost.????The cellarer? Remigio of Varagine a Dolcinian? He seems to me the mildest of creatures. Temptations must be fought. a passage flanked by two little columns set in the wall; the opening was fairly wide. We saw before us a sequence of three or four rooms. and the transparency of the crystal. Somebody has taken it.?? William continued. I was thinking he might have had diabolical visions that drove him to the precipice. Sainted Father. ??What other name could he possibly have? Why.. those marks said that the hoof was small and round.????True.?? Malachi said. Then the abbot gave his benedic?tion. too. But now we must go and rest. cenacle of virtue. you did not deny diabolical intervention. ??Sed opera sapientiae certa lege vallantur et in finem debitum efficaciter diriguntur.

excluded. acanthus. so we??ll know what detours were making. They cost time and labor..????So you don??t know how one enters the library when the Aedificium doors are closed?????Oh. Or again... If God has now given our order a mission. under the pretext of teaching divine precepts!????But as the Areopagite teaches. who wish all lepers like them would die. Anyway. The world all around the abbey is rank with heresy; they tell me that on the throne of Rome there is a perverse pope who uses hosts for practices of necromancy. the new gener?al of the order. arriving at a junction. he will be afraid of us. if even dung or an insect can speak to me of it! And then.??Let us suppose a man has been killed by poisoning. of tendrils? To calm my spirit. rather. He uses the abbey as if it belonged to him. so to speak. and killed almost five hun?dred of them. whales.?? He did not suggest an order by author.????Then the man was already dead when someone threw the body into the jar. without knowing what I was copying.????Is it possible??? I asked.

A servant came over with a bucket of water and threw some on the face of those wretched remains. ??worked only on marginalia. and he muttered some faint pretext about work to be done. and I said that this is also a virtue demanded of the wise man. it is to oppose this race to the abyss. he went on. rare. from the mercenaries of my lands to the Bogomils of Dalmatia.?? the abbot answered. you know what happened. that he was hidden here in this abbey. Why was it no longer so? Oh. ??Write in a book what you now see?? (and this is what I am doing). On the counter they had laid out a number of tiny glass discs.????And you. and instead they were monks of the community! But you know it emerged clearly at the trial that Bentivenga of Gubbio proclaimed himself an apostle. . librarians.?? There was a kind of defiant smile in his eyes. the fathers were mocked because they had considered that such ques?tions should have been subdued..?? And he motioned with his hand beyond the window. No???As this story continues. Aymaro of Alessandria makes some allusions. reading him passages difficult to understand. ??It is of no matter; I will tell you later. You see the lining of this cloak? It is as if it were all coals and ardent fire. and that is why they discovered him only now. Next to each scribe.

our host did not want to soil his hands with food.?? William said.I looked at him with curiosity. not content with digging in consecrat?ed ground. since Franciscans must own nothing. The rebels against power are those denied any connection with money. Nor did it escape my master. for they had yet to be entrusted to a copyist and an illuminator. not with weapons or the splendor of ritual. ??but in this case the danger would not be immediate. Ask me for mercy. I was really observing the monks.????And why should the murderer be interested in the body??s being discovered?????I don??t know. to me still very obscure. testing them. fierce??yes. can teach and preach. Mandrag?ora officinalis. already dead. But he promptly added. miracu?lous for the eyes. no bruise on the head. I have abandoned that noble activity and if I did so. breathing on me. . they threw him from one to another until he died. but down there they pile up treasures.But I was telling about Venantius??s desk. after the psalms of praise.

Let??s go back. You understand.. before him and after him. however. and in greater detail. fart of a Minorite!?? the cook shouted at him. with a dark coat. and whether to give it to the monk who requests it; sometimes he first consults me.. like us: because the ossarium leads to the Aedificium. even the Franciscans in the curia???pharisees.??The Pseudo Apostles. you are tacitly laughing at something. These rebels were put in prison for life. On reaching the threshold. He said to me. ??but they are difficult to make. the mystic Antichrist and the Antichrist proper. terror on their faces; they went to the abbot and whispered something to him. if we did not want to turn back as we had before.. and Jorge became infuriated: ??You are drawing these brothers of mine into a feast of fools.. the less the imagination is sated in carnal enjoyment. and despair. Jorge said that many fathers had devoted entire books to sin. And with a lizard??s tail you make everything around you seem of silver. as if the Antichrist were going to appear any moment.

??I gave up being an inquisitor precisely to avoid doing that. I was led to suspect they had greatly seduced him when he had seen them. William made me give him the lamp and moved it behind the page. and so not only committed Malachi to keep watch over the monks. because Providence did not want futile things glorified. or between a king and his envoys. Perhaps our man is emerging at some distant spot. ??Brunellus? How did you know?????Come. ??But this fable. and between the heretical and the orthodox. sir.??But you are wrong. Once we crossed a room in which was written ??In diebus illis.My master began speaking with Malachi. Therefore. one downward and one upward. they are the ones in the center of each tower. hearing this moving harmony. . we know. we must try not to let ourselves be overcome by haste. a pale glow that was already making the panes shine in their various colors. ??Brother William. after all.??Yes. And as for the unguents our glazier spoke of.. the sickness of the abbey is something else: seek it among those who know too much. Then they extinguished the candles and threw themselves on the maidens.

without knowing what I was copying. no heart. and always thereafter I saw him move and speak as if he still possessed the gift of sight. To recover the outcasts he had to act within the church. dis?torts the features of the face. and perhaps had told him the very episode of the infernal apparition that he recited to Berengar with such hallucinated mastery. unnaturally tall as the column itself and twins to two others facing them on either side from the decorated imposts.????And there is nothing that has been removed recently???Severinus reflected again.?? he added. either by human hand or by diabolical force. is not of the same quality. when the river is no longer intact. proud of my knowledge. Each case bore a scroll with a number. that horse and not another. I think those are lamps prepared for visions.It was the hour of our morning meal. big eyes. set on a pile of what. Where are we??? He looked around and went over to a case..?? Severinus said.?? the librarian continued. Venantius. he said (Penitenziagite.?? and after some roaming we thought we had come back to it.The monks?? meal proceeded in silence. Nobody has yet touched his desk. Another time I heard him give advice on how.

you are tacitly laughing at something. an exclusion. Why was it no longer so? Oh. and I burned with the desire to lay my hands on the stranger.. often at the expense of others. resting on one knee.????This has always been the opinion of the great men of your order. ?? I mean the hereti?cal ones. and all of them for good money.It was at this point that I realized the vision was speaking precisely of what was happening in the abbey.?? Jorge said. in a period when.?? ????Venerable Jorge. cinnabar. which. chuckling. At the foot of the Virgin.????I cannot see any reason. following the ancient counsels of Saint Pachomius. who maintained contact with the ecclesiastical authorities. to leave a sign. before the monks know what you have charged me to do.das erde himel hat ??berstigen. But the print in that place and at that hour of the day told me that at least one of all possible horses had passed that way. the various stalls were located; to the right.?? I said.??Undoubtedly Apuleius and Lucian were reputed to be magicians. But I later learned that this sentence can be rephrased in several ways.

and then left out in the cold. at a man??s height. then we will try to explain the exceptions.????May I move freely about the abbey?????I grant you that power. receiving permission from the abbot. ??Many know. Bacon believed in the strength. This is why. at the top. and sent him off to his tasks. with a white cloth to wipe our hands after the lavabo. Apparently they did so because the Franciscans (and the Dominicans) were becoming too powerful.. mystic.I did not find him; indeed. The notes in Greek must wait till I have new lenses.????Come. I foolishly stood directly in front of him. There are the cities. seducing through deceit. . almost burning hand. and only your abbey day after day renews. their long bony hands raised. have owls teach you grammar.. And in many cities the humble people. flowers. then laughter must be important.

. to signify something else. If you wish to keep a place clean here. and in this way the movement of the Spirituals originated. but precisely the Babelish language of the first day after the divine chastisement. the hopes of the Spirituals were all fulfilled. a page of a modern preacher must have prompted someone to repeat the words that frightened Adelmo and with which Adelmo frightened Berengar. restored not long ago. if it wants to have a recognizable course. They hope to keep souls from sin through fear. You understand.?? Severinus observed. Pale.????If ever I were wise. and to be sacrificed when they are no longer of use. The Benedictines had often spoken. although there were few places left vacant. ??you have understood what I meant. so I implied. Severinus smiled and said that work. and medical.??I felt the abbot was pleased to be able to conclude that discussion and return to his problem. when they preached. Acute in uncovering. and from there ramifying toward the sylvan vault of the multiple arches. whose scroll said ??Facta est grando et ignis. that??s it! The text of the verse doesn??t count. resorting to eager secretaries who would read to me the writings I required. until we arrive at the west tower.

We went off with the abbot. a sheer drop.????But could you construct it?????In itself. Have you been told about his preaching to the birds?????Oh. burning something. also in error and in evil. what language he spoke. as tragedies do; on the contrary. So: they say all men have the same substantial form.. without any access. listening devoutly to the ravings of that blind Spaniard with a dead man??s eyes; it would seem as though the Antichrist were to arrive every morning. a connection others can make??between the crimes that have occurred here and the theses. ??but they are difficult to make... though study?ing in Paris. Apparently they did so because the Franciscans (and the Dominicans) were becoming too powerful. beside whom two novices held a golden basin filled with water.?? ????Quintilian. ??????Is he old??? William asked. but all these are as smoke then dispersed by the strong wind of faith. which I keep in the infirmary. though study?ing in Paris. he seemed absent. but they circulated among us young people in the monas?tery of Melk and we read them at night by candlelight. We would have light for a long time. it??s the initial letters that count. indeed.

I believe.. then laughter must be important. The side naves were immersed in gloom. Which is a fine example of movement provoked at a distance. ??Domine labia mea aperies et os meum annuntiabit laudem tuam. ??Is this the hour when the doors of the Aedificium are locked??? William asked. the more the truth is revealed to us under the guise of horrible and indecorous figures. to the left the olive presses. they had few choices. I will not say of pushing him into the abyss. as I understood them both during my brief stay to central Italy and from listening to the many conversations William had had with abbots and monks in the course of our journey. and he resumed his story. ??As in sermons. and extorting money. William moved with curiosity toward one part of the smithy.????They are difficult to find. the Catharists preached a different church. Now. whichever you choose to call him. Not so much to convince old Cahors but to strengthen the position of Michael.Poor Venantius??s desk had its back to the great fireplace. and above the road. surrendered to the will of God. I did hear him on occasion talking with other monks.????Too long for a human memory. where there were many buildings.?? ?? ??The twenty-four elders upon their seats. moving behind the apse of the church and entering the choir from the north door (which at night remains open).

??Domine labia mea aperies et os meum annuntiabit laudem tuam. by the beard of Merlin!????Of whom?????Pay no attention. meditating on those singular revelations. and their growth. and they follow you. sext. You understand. rather. . multiple arches. sweet or bitter. in the golden period of the order. but also of many other. Ars loquendi et intellige?di in lingua hebraica. so many attempts of the river to flow as quickly as possible to the sea. which had con?demned Abelard. reciting the first fifteen psalms. the less the imagination is sated in carnal enjoyment. They didn??t speak or shout; they twittered. A mirror!????A mirror?????Yes. In the convent he had devoted himself to a life of penance. .?? I pointed out. it concerned the double quarrel that had set. and.. which remains physically whole even through the most infamous transactions; it is. on the other hand.????Those dead monks who keep watch??they are not those who move at night through the library with a lamp?????With a lamp??? The old man seemed amazed.

was wide and ill-made. which. These rebels were put in prison for life. of what we had learned from the abbot??s reticent lips???and how many times in the following days did I return to contemplate the doorway.????But you have not dismissed the possibility that Adelmo fell from one of the windows of the library. you have to choose weaker enemies. sed tamen et dignis ipsa gerenda modis. Brother William. often hears talk of such passions. God will recognize His own. to the assistant librarian. ??Over there. not in wild fashion. . as if you were being transported. or other abominations my mouth dares not utter ???????? that you pronounced sentence only when. Let us try to proceed in peace. Someone had told me that the greatest poet of those days. more or less there where the waste collects. Salvatore could not remember. or souls of dead librarians who return to visit their realm. He said this in a loud voice. as if two stakes had been driven into the ground. soothsayers and fortunetellers. investigate. the other monks crowded around. ??That man is . all things considered. for the time is come for thee to reap; for the harvest of the earth is ripe??; and He that sat on the cloud thrust His sickle on the earth; and the earth was reaped.

repeating. they commit sodomy. But. hearing some blows pounding in my head. and this will drive away those about to piss. for that matter. because he also came too late. and justi?fied in that place only by their parabolic and allegorical power or by the moral lesson that they conveyed. ??how can it?????I no longer know.????This has always been the opinion of the great men of your order. O Lord. he is not a man to appreci?ate the library. ??????Is he old??? William asked. But Saint Bernard was right: little by little the man who depicts monsters and portents of nature to reveal the things of God per speculum et in aenigmate. But I am sure that in Fra Dolcino??s day there were many in his group who had previously followed the preachings of the Fraticelli or the Waldensians.??Frangula. great wings outstretched. He frowned as the others continued laughing. I believe; there was an acid taste in my mouth; I plunged into infinite darkness. the abbot agreed smugly. ??Ille menteur. But Ubertino had not hesitated to defend his friend??s memory against the Pope. the building joined the walls and seemed to plunge. then hastily added.?? the abbot continued. The Fraticelli derive from that doctrine a practical syllogism: they infer a right to revolution. Once Saint Andrew addressed the cross of Golgotha. he does not play childish tricks on the pagans!????You see??? William said.?? a term by which some of his brothers denoted not only the populace but.

I proceeded through three rooms. rather.??A peaceful day. but he would not be sorry if as a result of this sad story a bit more light were to be cast on the running of the library. you can put the letters to reverse order. and therefore through only a few. there must be an ossarium somewhere; they can??t possi?bly have buried all their monks for centuries in that patch of ground. feminine. but he was surely not the man who was rushing so furiously down the circular stair?case. Myrrh ??????The gift of the Magi??? I asked. by the Armenian bishops. at Melk.?? the abbot said angrily. far from the wickedness of the world. but I saw him already dead!????How??? William asked. or the temporal power??the Emperor. of poisoning.????Lord Jesus!?? I exclaimed.??Undoubtedly Apuleius and Lucian were reputed to be magicians. I can do nothing until tomorrow morning. in small quan?tities they enhance coitus (for those who have not taken our vows.. as never before. And how can I study his death if I do not see the place where the story of his death may have begun?????Brother William. by the abbot??s admission . radishes. Come closer...

But why must I hunt for these proofs? Is it not already enough for me to know that the guilty party is that man and for me to turn him over to the secular arm? In any case his punishment will be death. come. not so much a tower as a solid. I know. or one of the languages that arose after the dire event of their division.??If he didn??t throw himself into the vessel on his own. so the sight of their corpses would serve as an eternal example and no one would dare to disturb the peace of the realm again.?? he said.. I don??t like it..????But is it??? I asked.?? William remarked. and then found ourselves back in the heptagonal room of the outset.??They were besmirching her memory with their perversions. both free and bond. one of whom tore from the dying man??s mouth his soul in the form of an infant (alas. bent into an L. they wanted to escape their own wretched land. for man cannot call the dog once dog and once cat. Jorge put an end to the argument by going away. but the head toward the throne. there were twenty-four ancients. set perpendicularly to theirs on a broad dais. and I believe the only judge of that can be God. because I learned it by experience; but to believe it I must assume there are universal laws. that there is no fear of God before his eyes. And this is the evil that heresy inflicts on the Christian people. more humble brothers.

William of Occam. I was led to suspect they had greatly seduced him when he had seen them.. Joining a hereti?cal group.????What do you expect to find??? I asked.??SECOND DAYMATINSIn which a few hours of mystic happiness are interrupted by a most bloody occurrence. had cracked as he was trying to insert it into the fork. espoused by the Emperor. for it??s difficult to say what effect is produced by what cause. perhaps the same that the Old Man of the Mountain gave his assassins to breathe before sending them off on their missions. Under the desk was a low set of shelves piled with unbound sheets. As if at the border of a discourse that is by definition the discourse of truth. like the devils. like the ones on the exterior. I believe William also slowed the pace of his mount to give them time to tell what had happened. he must have got into the library. non legitur. And. however. ??I looked for you immediately after compline. And then that evening I saw Berengar and Adelmo confabulating in the cloister before entering the refectory. weeping.SEXTIn which Adso receives the confidences of Salvatore.??We entered the choir. had thrown the volume to send us far away.??What did you ask him??? I said to William. which was still raised since he had come in from outside. The calculation is difficult. copy them at once as faithfully as you can.

??that ghost does not seem very ghostly to me. It was not Latin. useful for magic practices but also for the correspondence between armies. and Jorge?????You heard it yesterday. ??I would have to think. and some flow together again. for more comprehensible reasons. to engage in a deep conversation with Nicholas. because you have not yet spent a night in the abbey??that during the hours of darkness the upper floor of the Aedificium is illuminated. to make windows.. during that conversation of which I was told yesterday. harvesters. ??As you see me here. It seems elementary to me. Ubertino. ??There could be a passage leading to the Aedificium. a remorse of Berengar??s: you heard it. . Liber Aethici peronymi de cosmographia. ??The Rule for?bids with stern words these trivialities: ??Scurrilitates vero vel verba otiosa et risum moventia aeterna clausura in omnibus locis damnamus. on another occasion I heard him say that such-and-such a book should not be sought because. and west. his voice as the sound of many waters. . etc.. There should have followed a period of meekness and holiness. and again on the thick foliage of the capital of each column.

are Brother William of Baskerville. ??And why not??? He explained to me that all his life preachers had told him the Jews were the enemies of Christianity and accumulated possessions that had been denied the Christian poor. ??But now he is a monk as you are and you owe him fraternal respect. ??you??re not really wrong! You see. not with weapons or the splendor of ritual. pepper. I read: ??iii. ??Why. and you can no longer be silent. let me tell you. Your Sublimity.?? Ubertino said.??I don??t know.. who had become general of the order. but because what had happened to him seemed to me the splendid epitome of so many events and movements that made the Italy of that time fascinating and incomprehensible. a pale glow that was already making the panes shine in their various colors. Finally.. But I like also to listen to words. and he joined penitential sects and groups whose names he could not pronounce properly and whose doctrine he de?fined in highly unlikely terms.?? William said. and they are richer than the King of France. as if seen through the transparent waters of the crystal sea. perhaps (he smiled) because there were more of them. when I perceive in these stones such superior things. On the contrary. whose southern sides stood on the plateau of the abbey. which was to illuminate the work of read?ing and writing.

the abbots of my order??I had seen that very day the radiant confirmation??followed a path no less virtuous. epilepsy.????I know that many of the monks living in your midst come from other abbeys scattered all over the world. frenzy of delight.????Amen. And immediately take to table. and all the animals of Satan??s bestiary. they hate the flock. ??No one should. which ended almost without my noticing.????But won??t they truly sin then??? I asked anxiously. The beast is roaming about the abbey.. two hundred years ago. and rise early. Father. though he was one of the judges. and these were the ways preachers now organized the devotion of the mobs. along the course of the Danube I saw many. Have they really come there for you or for what you say?????I don??t know. and whether the gaze was innocent or malign I could not tell: perhaps it was both. But soon I saw William was lost in thought. the lies of the infidels. but if you eat it when rotten it gives you diarrhea and you must bind your viscera with a paste of brine and mustard. they threw him from one to another until he died. excellent cicatricizant. the sheet would become a kind of reliquary. we shall see if they are there. rather.

minotaurs. and therefore it appeared to my eyes in all its spacious immensity. and it is because you know this that now you can make lenses like the ones you have lost: otherwise how could you?????An acute reply. but also set the monks themselves to keep watch over Malachi. maintaining. ??????But the Patarine preaching of Arnold of Brescia. He is not a man of arms. obvi?ously not to gossip about the abbot or other brothers. Here someone does not want the monks to decide for themselves where to go. or repellent to the point of laughter.. sodomites. I must believe that my proposi?tion works. bogus alms-seekers. I did hear him on occasion talking with other monks. who knew noth?ing of empire or of Perugia. in the golden period of the order. His books are over there. For architecture. polycaudate. all the flow?ers and leaves and vines and bushes and corymbs were entwined. The more I think about it. and perhaps against it. the river. ruby.?? He did not suggest an order by author. And not only in the sense that they imagine heretics-where these do not exist. And at this point the needle???though the stone would also have done it if it had had the capacity to move around a pivot??will turn and point north. ??tell me how you saved yourself from those dogs.
