Having reached the endof my poor sinner's life...
:00:14
my hair now white...
:00:16
I prepare to leaveon this parchment my testimony...
:00:19
as to the wondrousand terrible events...
:00:22
I witnessed in my youth...
:00:24
towards the end of the yearof Our Lord 1327.
:00:30
May God grant methe wisdom and grace...
:00:33
to be the faithful chroniclerof the happenings that took place...
:00:36
in a remote abbeyin the dark north of Italy.
:00:41
An abbey whose nameit seems even now,
:00:45
pious and prudent to omit.
