   They caught up to you, Father. You should have returned that book when you could! The fine must be in the millions of Euros by now!

   Priceless, actually. The pages and sections of the volume I was able to handcopy at the Vatican Apostolic Library was one to two copies, both were locked away in safes in vaults in lockup-rooms in restricted sections… etc. No pictures! With the Prefect glaring over my shoulder… He had to tolerate me since he was under orders of the Cardinal Prefect of the time to let me copy whatever I wanted.

   But then, years later, one of those volumes was transferred to the Pontifical Biblical Institute. Hah! The prefect there, a friend, took the half hour to retrieve the volume from a similar lock up situation, but then left me with it. I proceeded, of course, to take pictures of many pages… Way cool! I’m the only one in the world with this stuff after all these centuries.

   The rest of the volumes were ordered to be burned between Pontificates[!] by Saint Robert Cardinal Bellarimine! Yikes! and Yikes! again! There’s much more to this drama today. Much, much more. Such a drama!
