− | | 5min = | + | | 5min = They receive a letter for Guy de Chaulliac, he is critically ill and begs them to leave. The messenger is coughing and stumbles. The librarian informs them that he found a letter from Pope XXII to Gasbert de Valle congratulating him for the construction of the palace of the Popes. |
− | + | A grand mass is organised to honour Cardinal Elie de Nabinal. The bells ring three times three strokes to announce his death. | |
− | + | | 10min = Alchemy books disappeared : Liber de compositione alchimiae, De investigatione perfectionis (Geber), De mineralibus (Albart Magnus), Opus maius (Roger Bacon), The book of Abraham the Jew, Ars Magna by Ramon LLul. It is disturbing because Ramon LLul is very controvertial, in between alchemy and witchcraft. | |
− | + | | 15min = Alchemy : Some books disappeared : L’élixir des philosophes and L'art transmutatoire. Nobody knew those books were here ! Except the pope himself and the librarian. Also, the rumours says that it was John XXII who wrote "L’élixir des philosophes" and "L'art transmutatoire". The librarian explains that for some reason, the pope seemed passionate about alchemy, and at some point in his life he made a bull to ban alchemy ! Very strange. | |
− | + | | 20min = Templar books disappeared : Accounting books taken from some Templar commanderies | |
− | + | | 25min = Templar books disappeared : Liber Consolamenti : Secret rule of the Templars. | |
− | + | | 30min = Templar books disappeared : Some letters and script of the trials some Bulls from John XXII. The librarian explains that the pope helped create lots of orders in Europe in the ashes of the templars. For example the order of Montesa in Spain or the order of Christ in Portugal. | |
− | + | | 35min = Witchcraft and Jewish Magic books disappeared : Ghāyat al-Ḥakīm (Picatrix), Sepher Raziel HaMalakh (The Book of Raziel the Archangel) All those books are about Jewish magic and magic in general. John XXII made several bulls against the Jews. | |
− | + | | 40min = Witchcraft and Jewish Magic books disappeared : Liber Semamphoras. He informs the players that he saw someone sleep on the grave of John XXII, but he ran away. | |
− | . | + | | 45min = Witchcraft and Jewish Magic books disappeared : Sepher ha-Razim, The Sword of Moses. The Librarian explains that the pope was targeted several times by sorcerers and he is the first one to decrete witchcraft as being heretical. But at the same time he collected books about magic ! |
− | + | | 50min = Heresy and Death books disappeared : Summa sacre magice Book about summoning the devil | |
− | + | | 55min = Heresy and Death books disappeared : Ars Notoria about summoning the devil | |
− | + | | 60min = Heresy and Death books disappeared : Liber Juratus Honorii (Sworn Book of Honorius) a Necromancy Grimoire, lots of letters about the Beatific vision. All those books are about summoning the devil or summoning death herself. The librarian explains that Pope XXII in his late life had a very strange theory about Death, for which he was criticez as being a heretic. In his point of view, people don't go to heaven just after death. First they are just in the embrace of death. He was called the heretic pope several times. | |
− | + | | 75min = Gold, the Fratichelli and the antichrist : All documents about the Fratichelli trials disappeared. The Librarian explains that the pope was in favour of the church being rich which opposed him to the Franciscan Fratichelli, and he was called overtly as being the antichrist. And for some reason he became insanely rich, much richer than a pope should be at some point in his life. | |
