LXV
AS we were in the habit of meeting daily, the necrancer kept urging me to join in his adventure. Accordingly, I asked him how long it would take, and where we should have to go. To this he answered that we might get through with it in less than a month, and that the most suitable locality for the purpose was the hill country of Norcia; a master of his in the art had indeed consecrated such a book quite close to Re, at a place called the Badia di Farfa; but he had met with se difficulties there, which would not occur in the mountains of Norcia; the peasants also of that district are people to be trusted, and have se practice in these matters, so that at a pinch they are able to render valuable assistance.
This priestly sorcerer moved me so by his persuasions that I was well disposed to cply with his request; but I said I wanted first to finish the medals I was making for the Pope. I had confided what I was doing about them to him alone, begging him to keep my secret. At the same time I never stopped asking him if he believed that I should be reunited to my Sicilian Angelica at the time appointed; for the date was drawing near, and I thought it singular that I heard nothing about her. The necrancer told me that it was quite certain I should find myself where she was, since the devils never break their word when they prise, as they did on that occasion; but he bade me keep my eyes open, and be on the look out against se accident which might happen to me in that connection, and put restraint upon myself to endure sewhat against my inclination, for he could discern a great and imminent danger in it: well would it be for me if I went with him to consecrate the book, since this would avert the peril that menaced me, and would make us both most fortunate.
I was beginning to hanker after the adventure more than he did; but I said that a certain Maestro Giovanni of Castel Bolognese had just ce to Re, very ingenious in the art of making medals of the sort I made in steel, and that I thirsted for nothing more than to cpete with him and take the world by storm with se great masterpiece, which I hoped would annihilate all those enemies of mine by the force of genius and not the sword. The sorcerer on his side went on urging: “Nay, prithee, Benvenuto, ce with me and shun a great disaster which I see impending over you.” However, I had made my mind up, ce what would, to finish my medal, and we were now approaching the end of the month. I was so absorbed and enamoured by my work that I thought no more about Angelica or anything of that kind, but gave my whole self up to it.
