Chapter Abstract:

On a beautiful, sunny morning at the end of November, William of Baskerville and Adso of Melk are walking up the path toward the abbey. As their mules trudge around the hairpin bends, the fortress stands out eerily below the mountain. Stopping in front of a trivium, where two side paths branch off, the erudite Franciscan notices some tracks in the snow and on the branches of the pines. Lost in thought, he says nothing. A little later, the abbot of the monastery, Remigio da Varagine, comes down to meet them together with some other monks and relatives.
