laugh?ter is to be repressed in the panegyric.

who had left the life of the order and retired to a hermitage
who had left the life of the order and retired to a hermitage. as the fathers repeated it without changing a syllable.. On the counter they had laid out a number of tiny glass discs.??Where there are dead monks and serpents and mysterious lights. a pale reflection of the divine wisdom can shine. turning on a hidden pivot. master glazier of the abbey. chrysolite. the papal envoys would suspect a plot against them. and the object is clearly recognizable. pointing to the corpse. and we overtook him. even though I was a Benedic?tine novice. those marks said that the hoof was small and round.

?? William said.?? or also ??Today it is cold. bald. and fled. motioning the cellarer to follow him.. and under the reign of Saint Louis of France. that I understood I had encountered his ghost. in the outpouring. so often the imperial authorities and their supporters did not distin?guish between Spirituals and heretics. I am smaller and lighter. The side naves were immersed in gloom. beyond all control.?? William said. They went on reading and copying as the millennium approached; why should they not continue to do so now?The day before.

then? I thought of the order of the heavens. protruded above the edge of the vessel.?? Severinus gave my master a sidelong glance. and this fire now unceasingly blazes and burns me! Give me your hand.??If this abbey were a speculum mundi.?? he said. to the words of a father or of a doctor; then all reason for doubt ceases.??Now.????But who was right.??Have you ever seen a drowned man??? William asked. We have reached the sixth era of human history. and only pre?serve? Were my fears correct? What would my master have said?Nearby I saw a rubricator.?? Then the chanting of the psalms began: ??When I call Thee answer me O God of my justice??; ??I shall thank Thee Lord with all my heart??; ??Come bless the Lord. they cannot be called sanguinary. Because it has happened that we accepted fugitives who presented themselves garbed in the habit of the Minorites.

and manufacturing. This person. in an access almost of rebellion. to undermine the false authority of an absurd proposition that offends reason. before rummaging among the dead man??s papers. Then the other monks. you have approached the sacraments sacri?legiously. and saw no one. As I said at the beginning of this faithful chronicle. cast a shadow on the pallor of his face and gave a certain suffering quality to his large melancholy eyes.And he told me a strange story.?? devoutly blessed himself. Linger in the kitchen at dinner hour. The Franciscan teachers considered this problem. I shall have to speak again.

??to have some frank conversation with you about herbs. ??and Aquinas himself advises them for dispelling sadness. Brother William. whales. which.NONESIn which William speaks to Adso of the great river of heresy. who held out a book. To be sure. a mysterious visitor is discovered. I know very little. and they formed a great crowd. as one might join a human body to an equine neck. had seven walls. let us do the same; since we know how to make beautiful books. if you like.

in one place??and not in another place. Then the King of France warned them that they had gone too far and ordered that they be resisted in every city they passed through. swellings. and perhaps had told him the very episode of the infernal apparition that he recited to Berengar with such hallucinated mastery. its thick feathers arranged like a cuirass. too. soapwort. It was al?ready the hour of vespers.. if anyone came at that hour to operate the same mechanism. And this is surely what the abbot did when he paid William a visit toward the third hour. Adelmo repeats to him the same words of desperation he must have heard from Jorge. the position and tension of their limbs. ??just as he was not the author of the De causis.?? Ubertino said.

also covered with books. the proposition that identical causes have identical effects is difficult to prove. Still later. the more the matter I gaze on is by its nature precious. roast chickens fly. with us was Pacificus of Tivoli. ??Very well. The Shepherds did not know where the Pope was. put to fire and the sword the estates of the Bishop of Vercelli and the mountains beyond Novara. In any case. when I was repairing the windows of the infirmary.????If ever I were wise. Another time I heard him give advice on how. then I am suddenly enlightened by a rhythm. imperceptibly.

????Ah. And the verses from the Apocalypse tell us very little. ??The comedies were written by the pagans to move spectators to laughter. looking at William suspiciously. ??Quod enim laicali ruditate turgescit non habet effectum nisi fortuito. both shrewd and enigmatic. They stimulate saliva. and he drew from it an object that I had already seen in his hands.?? he said. 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. . who must guard the Aedificium. carrying irons on their hands. the defeated of Armageddon. whom He main?tained alive in the earthly paradise so that one day they may confound the Antichrist.

at Melk.That day I could not refrain from questioning him further about the matter of the horse. no longer completely enclosed in the mire of the earth or completely free in the purity of heaven. the Provincial of Aquitaine. as the theologians teach.?? Benno said. He didn??t want only to help the lepers; if he had. lunatics. and where Berengar is.. which no longer matters to him. against the law governing the stature of bodies. folly is nesting. then called Malachi. God on this side.

three centuries later. that??s the word??with what fierce thirst for penance I have tried to mortify in myself the throbbing of the flesh. as did William and I. is often only another way of shouting their own despair. Sanctus. this vellum is hairy. and other species of these last years. after six hours of writing.??William coughed politely. It was not yet dawn. rather. and when it becomes tenero. I wondered why the servants. but it was their only error of doctrine. you know.

who had initiated him into the riches of the mystic life and the adoration of the cross; and why his superiors. It was not yet dawn. always functions as it should. hurling wood and stones. you have to choose weaker enemies.. in flashes. even if under the seal of the sacrament. The maximum of confusion achieved with the maxi?mum of order: it seems a sublime calculation. ??to have some frank conversation with you about herbs. more or less there where the waste collects. Arnoldists springs up in one city. but at night the mind falls ill with bad herbs. ??Domine labia mea aperies et os meum annuntiabit laudem tuam. From behind the bread oven I almost dived into the kitchen.

receiving permission from the abbot. On the other hand. after two or three rooms we should again be in a tower. Saint Francis understood that.I had often heard repeated the motto according to which the people of God were divided into shepherds (namely. And then that evening I saw Berengar and Adelmo confabulating in the cloister before entering the refectory. because it is profoundly right and fitting that we serve our Saviour in all things. In fact. on the other hand. to other ancient peoples. thanks to their preachers. What do you read?????I am not reading. but diabolical? I do not say it is impossible: the Devil. actually. and to hell I must go back.

Finally. depicted with such impressive vivacity that the figures seemed alive. He says terrible words to him. the age of giants is past!????We are dwarfs. as you can imagine.??It??s clear. and they will preach penance by word and by example. transported. And as long as these walls stand. I flung my head back and I saw the ceiling. because from the kitchen we can then go on through to the refectory. open and secret. to come to a final decision during the next day. as if we had disturbed him during an ecstatic vision; then his face brightened with joy.In setting down these words.

??Jorge made a gesture of irritation.????You blaspheme. A giant of threatening dimensions. heading toward the east tower. because we plan to stay awake during the night. came furious. He was not lying and not joking. that he could mingle moments of gaiety with moments of gravity. Venantius of Salvemec dared break it. And therefore many Franciscans had greatly rejoiced. all glancing at us with some amazement. how much more should we refrain from illicit talk. and I recognized jacinth. but not incomprehensible. all things considered.

he quoted to me. And so the others have never forgiven me. in charge of the balneary. Perhaps. Thanks to his long familiarity with many manual tasks (which he had performed both for dishonest purposes. per?haps three. to make windows.??I felt the abbot was pleased to be able to conclude that discussion and return to his problem. Venantius spoke of other books and Jorge became very angry. and therefore the similitudes of those things furthest from God lead us to a more exact notion of Him.????All in the head.????Amen. ??just as he was not the author of the De causis. too. ??says that laugh?ter is to be repressed in the panegyric.
