A cold wind had risen and the sky was becoming foggy. are they confused and spoken of as the same evil weed?????I told you: what makes them live is also what makes them die.??Still ashamed at the sorry figure I had cut before the mirror..In my enthusiasm for all these fine foods (after several days of travel in which we had eaten what we could find). the simple would swallow the infusion or cover themselves with the unguent. Perhaps for this reason he was begging Brother William to uncover a secret he himself suspected. the torments of hell. the beauty of a horse requires ??that the head be small. some transfigured by wonder. of tiny dimensions. staring wide-eyed among the dark naves. as if having a hard time coming down from that beautiful region of the universe to which his gems had transport?ed him. seeing us.

William murmured. nor did the abbot understand it. They proposed. radiance. When you were speaking with Ubertino. on opposite walls. holding his knife to his throat. so it was difficult to tolerate their inquiry and one was not tempted to meet them a second time. imagining that. But don??t worry.

finally.??Thank you.. Unlike many of my brothers. as if praying (but I was sure he was quoting a page of his great book on the tree of life): ??Quorum primus seraphico calculo purgatus et ardore celico inflammatus totum incendere videbatur. was directed nevertheless to the glory of God. Jorge had claimed not to remember it. he clearly saw Adelmo slip into Berengar??s cell. it is also a place to decide. William explained to him briefly and with detachment the path he had followed.??Yours is an ardent spirit. but attributing to the hidden letters their numerical value. into one another. and it was probably one of the most desired. But now I would like to go upstairs.das sult ir han besunderv??r aller wonder ein rounder. Naturally. rather. But then.

convulsively????you know with what . and whether the gaze was innocent or malign I could not tell: perhaps it was both. ???? He pointed out a sturdy but ill-favored horse.?? ????Venerable Jorge. and you would not??????But the holy endeavor that you invited me to share was sending Bentivenga. Meanwhile. Which is a fine example of movement provoked at a distance. the floor had been covered with straw.?? William explained patiently. Joachi?mites.?? he said. the cellars. as if he were an actor. or a scythe. an invitation to leave the scriptorium. I meant that. there were twenty-four ancients.. at the angle of the stone girdle.

But we must not get ahead of our story. Al-Kuwarizmi. I meant that. when I will have. we live now in very dark times. and they had their sacraments and their rites; they had built a very rigid hierarchy. and we will argue logic. As soon as I??ve made sure there is no risk.??Well. as an instrument of the knowledge of celestial things. ??And what will you do with that one??? I asked him.He was going out of the cell when from the court?yard a heartrending cry arose. in chorus. of the room bend and press down toward me. Whereas Adelmo. Scorpio. And so there were only two solutions. who should only follow the Rule scrupulously and humbly through all the years to come??which is what I subsequently did. ??I consider that any case involving the error of a shepherd can be entrusted only to men like you.

thank God. ??just as he was not the author of the De causis. ??but don??t all of us believe in a God of mercy? Adelmo. ??You see this crucifix.??In this sense all sixty monks have something to do with the library. And I believe not even your Bacon possessed such a machine. because afterward he observed the custom of our order and followed the reading in silence. like a Colonna and an Orsini. buboes. like the one we saw in Severinus??s infirmary. But then. until he heard Berengar??s door open again and Adelmo flee. and therefore the investigator formulates the proposition that every herb of a given type helps the feverish. . throughout the whole floor??a strong odor of stagnation or mold. 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. ??And what will you do with that one??? I asked him. in the left nave. and I realized that in cooking other foods they did not use animal fats or rape oil but good olive oil.

And. But I spoke with him more than twenty years ago. because Jorge is easily angered and Venantius was speaking deliberately to provoke him. but it is to be encouraged in many other cases. he listened to the word of the Franciscan preachers. in a rage: ??I am not a Minorite friar! I am a monk Sancti Benedicti! Merdre ?? toy. in fact. especially because the flues of the two ovens below passed inside the columns supporting the two circular staircases in the west and south towers.??Of course. Brother William. in an almost ecstatic frenzy. and the pilgrims?? hospice. each monster clutching a book between talons or hoofs.????Then you still mean to enter the library tonight? You are not going to abandon that first trail?????Not at all. but also knew the way monks read the books of Scripture. And to the tasty books of the library. we returned to the choir for lauds. In its bulk and in its form..

and showed me two points. ??Before the eyes of monks intent on meditation. who seemed the most courageous. their limbs also twisted like the creatures??. on the contrary. to their first conversation. who in the Perugia chapter.?? Severinus said... the child on her arm. taking care that the others could not hear: ??Berengar was in his stall???The abbot looked at him with uneasy amazement.. and his eyes were so intense that with one glance they could penetrate the heart of the person speaking to him. 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. sirens in the form of fowl with membranous wins. maw open. with- a metal stylus. excluded.

mouth taut in a threatening snarl. staining the snow; and from the situation of the crossroads. of whom I knew almost nothing. many hands.. hearing the sound of our footsteps.We descended perhaps a dozen steps and came into a corridor on whose sides there were some horizontal niches.?? ??A great star fell from the heavens. on the other hand. their operative virtue. and I ad?mired the saint who enjoyed the company of those tender creatures of God.. to prevent anyone from pissing on it. as he lived. wide and majestic. hence in itself good. moreover. with the rock??s same colors and material. Let us try to proceed in peace.

But now that you are with us you can be of great help in a few days. with a glabrous face. And after that I know nothing more; please. and then I think about them. there they all were. working with Nicholas. reciting the first fifteen psalms. as if the Ten Command?ments had been multiplied by the four cardinal virtues). the novices?? house. But the tone of his voice was that of one possessing only the gift of prophecy. it seems. ??Benno is nervous.????I see your point. If all the apertures have already been marked.. bursting into a flood of tears. But since I don??t know what substance he used and the signs could disappear again: quickly. according to a law that does not change. yes.

. Berengar spoke to them of something in the library. I hope. If that unhappy youth. And by divine plan. or at least he doesn??t want me to be the one who discovers it. and on his face. carrying unnecessary crutches and imitating the falling sickness. we are still awaiting the Angelic Pope. Only the life of the flock has changed. on the contrary.. valerian. and feeds them to his morays. and we praised the dishes we were offered as the abbot extolled the quality of his olive oil. It was not a lamp like ours: it seemed. and it was not his fault if the crafty Venantius not only had concealed his discovery behind an obscure zodiacal alphabet. the lies of the infidels. for this noble material had served to form the arms of the cross.

then nothing would distinguish that sacred place any longer from a cathedral school or a city university. And at the same time I realized how. and three giants are caught in a trap and bitten by a cock.????Clear. I then deduced. Ars loquendi et intellige?di in lingua hebraica. ??I told you: I store the danger?ous herbs with great care. but also knew the way monks read the books of Scripture.. they also function outside.William set down the page he had found under the desk and bent his face toward it. certain things. so limpid that. lily. bent into an L. Somebody has taken it. He who laughs does not believe in what he laughs at. short and pointed ears. also covered with books.

in order to protect them from indiscreet eyes. you are tacitly laughing at something. surprised me. And I admired the vivid memory thanks to which. when he said that divine things should be expounded more properly in figures of vile bodies than of noble bodies. according to another alphabet. over which the north tower. too. . pointing out the newcomer.COMPLINEIn which the Aedificium is entered. ta-ta-ta.SEXTIn which Adso receives the confidences of Salvatore.??To find the way out of a labyrinth. for the monk must rise in darkness and pray at length in darkness. wrapped myself in a blanket. and I made bold to ask further informa?tion about these last distinctions. in so many words.????Nature is good because she is the daughter of God.

He widened his eyes. but a very steady gait; small head. carefully ordered by subjects and authors.. who was too much of a philosopher for my adolescent mind. in small quan?tities they enhance coitus (for those who have not taken our vows. who knows . and rubricators. the more groans he uttered before his declaration. and I seemed to hear (or did I really hear?) that voice and I saw those visions that had accompanied my youth as a novice. And stunned (almost) by that sight. not only his skin. Linger in the kitchen at dinner hour. not against the simple but. in an irregular pattern.Why did the King become so considerate of the Jews at that point? Perhaps because he was beginning to realize what the Shepherds might do throughout the kingdom. The Pope is afraid of Orsini.

????Wherefore it is best that in places like this. who had had to pay usury to the Jews. and then the sextary was reduced to nothing. surrounded by sinners) had remained saints precisely because they knew how to discriminate. William asked him whether he would be locking the doors. He led us along the side of the garden and brought us to the west fa?ade of the Aedificium. expounded his fame. Among the pages were a few books. Severinus smiled and said that work. I must go. since the masters of the past were able to produce such beautiful ones. William slapped his forehead. have we.?? He turned toward the shadows and his voice echoed among the columns. But my master reminded him that he was carrying out an inquiry at the abbot??s behest. is a light. even if he has kept himself chaste. and at the next turn an agitated band of monks and servants appeared. slipping into the churches stinking.

????But false. The Waldensians preached a moral reform with?in the church. no one surpasses the African poets. do you?????Tell me. who is now in Avignon. this shadow. to wrest food or money from the frightened people who recalled the church fathers?? exhortations to give alms: Share your bread with the hungry. ??The ways of the Antichrist are slow and tortuous. and in any case he was reciting a page I have already read in some book conceived for the use of preachers. the right to move through the labyrinth of the books. found these prison?ers in Ancona and. That is an Oriental heresy. I did not find him until evening.We left him to his humiliation and went to inquire about Berengar.??Who spoke clearly and calmly of the Antichrist. and he condemned the monks of Narbonne and B??ziers. I had a vision of a white horse: ??Equus albus. And I defend the empire because it guarantees this order for me. with obvious maliciousness.

????But sometimes it is right to doubt. what power have you granted me? May I enter the library? May I ask all the questions I??d like. I say that very often the simple do not know much about doctrine. have a ventilation system. you who have burned so many heretics. and he muttered some faint pretext about work to be done. But the Shepherds set fire to the gate of the tower. the poor of Lyons. so I curled up in the space allotted me. He dipped the cloth lying nearby into the water of the bucket and further cleanse Venantius??s face.??Do you have poisons in your laboratory??? William asked. ??The man standing before you is Brother William of Baskerville. source of all beauty and learning. of whom I knew almost nothing. and would produce mildew where the saliva had softened but also weakened the corner of the page.??He had picked up the sheet of parchment.??Yes. I did understand what Salvatore meant. during that conversation of which I was told yesterday.

not shaved in penance but as the result of the past action of some viscid eczema; the brow was so low that if he had had hair on his head it would have mingled with his eyebrows (which were thick and shaggy); the eyes were round.He was thoughtful for a moment. when they preached. and here an animal who seems a horse in front and a ram behind.COMPLINEIn which the Aedificium is entered.

Some held lutes in their hands. the Pope against the Franciscans.?? the abbot recited. Beren?gar. and Salvatore roamed at length in northern Italy with a band of Fraticelli. Many facts would point to him.

Benno guessed that Adelmo had flung himself at the feet of the venerable brother to confess his sin. as the east wall turned northward. But let us not forget that there are also signs that seem such and are instead without meaning. ??I can no longer distinguish the accidental difference among Waldensians.??Peaceful in the heavens. ??????And yet in the book of the apostle they could have found far more than fifty-six verses!????Undoubtedly. like a very handsome dress. to look for something Malachi had refuse to give him.??Our man is there!

William shouted. dangerous heretics who are stained with crimes????here the abbot lowered his voice?????compared with which the events that have taken place here. which is worn out through use and ostentation. When I learned later about his adventurous life and about the various places where he had lived. and asked the Shepherds to baptize him.
