− | | 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. |
− | + | | 15min = Alchemy : Some 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, L’élixir des philosophes and L'art transmutatoire. It is disturbing because Ramon LLul is very controvertial, in between alchemy and witchcraft. 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. | |
− | + | | 30min = Templars : Lots of documents about the Templars 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. | |
− | + | | 45min = Witchcraft, Jews : Some books disappeared : Ghāyat al-Ḥakīm (Picatrix), Liber Semamphoras, Sepher Raziel HaMalakh (The Book of Raziel the Archangel), Sepher ha-Razim, The Sword of Moses. All those books are about Jewish magic and magic in general. The Librarian explains that the pope was targeted several times by sorcerers and he is the first one to decrete witchcraft as being heretical. He also made several bulls against the Jews. But at the same time he collected books about magic ! He informs the players that he saw someone sleep on the grave of John XXII, but he ran away. | |
− | + | | 60min = Heresy and Death : Some books disappeared : Liber Juratus Honorii (Sworn Book of Honorius), Ars Notoria, Summa sacre magice 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. | |
