Ars Magica
“The news from Rheims was bad. One of Gerbert’s own masters brought it, master of magic from the inner school, Rabbi Ephraim ha-Levi looking as harmless as ever: an old man, frail and translucent, peering about with an expression of perpetual, amiable befuddlement.
That, as Gerbert well knew, was eyesight that stopped just short of blindness, and long prudence. The old man looked about him sharply enough once they were alone. He would not, as ever, drink Christian wine; he had, as ever, his ...own small flask, with which he kept Gerbert company.
He came directly to it, which was another of his virtues. “The inner school has voted in conclave, from novice to master, to disband itself until peace should return. The masters from Spain have returned there; there is, they tell us, a school of the Art in Toledo that may profit from what we taught in Rheims. The Christians have gone back to their kin or their cloisters, or, if they had none, to St.-Rémi with Brother Richer.MoreLess
