The Abbey of Crime Extensum remake of "The abbey of crime" User manual 1 http://www.abadiadelcrimenextensum.com Having reached the end of my sinners life, waiting to be lost in the bottomless pit of the silent deserted divinity; in this cell of the beloved monastery of Melk, confined now with my heavy, ailing body, I prepare to leave on this parchment my testimony as to the wondrous and terrible events that I happened to observe in my youth. The Lord grants me the grace of giving faithful testimony of the events that took place in an abbey which name I prefer to cover with a pious mantle of silence; It was by the end of 1327, when my father decided that I accompany William of Occam, wise Franciscan monk who was about to initiate a mission which would take us to many famous cities and ancient abbeys.

He had been imprisoned for four years, until he could escape, and shought asylum in the court of Emperor Ludwig of Bavaria, who was at odds with Pope John XXII. When the Emperor died, William wanted to return to the mission with his order and the church, so he traveled to Italy with his young novice to meet Bernardo Gui, who was the head of the Inquisition at that time in that region, and, ultimately, the representative of the Pope. However we cannot know for certain whether William achieved his goal. Only the testimony left by his disciple years after the events happened, in a collection of scrolls; where those amazing and terrible events that happened during the week William and him spent in the Abbey the meeting was scheduled were described.
