	The Name of the Rose, Prologue: Scholasticism and William of Baskerville as a Scholastic Thinker
		11-18): Scholasticism and William of Baskerville as a Scholastic thinker
		William of Baskerville is like Albertus Magnus in at least four ways: (1) Albert was interested in "natural philosophy" (especially the study of animals, plants, and minerals) rather than theology; William regards optics as the most important of the sciences, and has a keen interest in herbs.
		William of Baskerville is, in many ways, a prefiguration of "modern" man, or an allegory of modernism emerging from the Middle Ages.

	Eco - Papers: "Essay on the Name of the Rose"
		William of Baskerville, a tall, thin English detective with a fondness for a substance that induces lethargy, needs only a pipe, deerstalker cap, and cape to be the perfect double of Sherlock Holmes, whose use of cocaine is legendary.
		William believes that signs "are the only things man has with which to orient himself in the world," but he knows that one can never be certain about the relation among signs.
		The novel opens with a clever bit of deduction, as William determines from a knowledge of literature, and the presence of several agitated monks, broken branches, and horsehair, that the abbot's favorite horse has escaped from the monastery and is hiding nearby.

	AllRefer.com - Giambattista Bodoni (Libraries, Books, And Printing, Biography) - Encyclopedia
		With Baskerville in England and the Didot family in France, Bodoni was a leader in originating pseudoclassical typefaces.
		These were distinguished from the "old style" of Caslon by emphasizing the contrast of light and heavy lines and by long, level serifs.
		William Morris considered Bodoni's mechanical perfection in typography the ultimate example of modern ugliness.

	The Name of the Rose: including Postscript to the Name of the Rose: Current Amazon U.S.A. One-Edition Data
		It is a compelling murder mystery, as young narrator Adso of Elk accompanies the wise William of Baskerville as he uses logic and semiotics to not only solve a murder mystery, but to decipher labrynths and hidden secrets of the vast monastery library.

		As Brother William traces to the bone of the mystery that seamlessly entangles the relationships and the paths overlapped the victims, it becomes perspicuous that the possession and theft of a banned book from the abbey library has led to deaths of scholars and monks in vein.

	The Name of the Rose - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Name of the Rose, a 1980 novel by Umberto Eco, is a murder mystery set in an Italian monastery in the year 1327 during the papacy of Pope John XXII.
		The name of the central character, William of Baskerville, alludes both to the fictional detective Sherlock Holmes and to William of Ockham, who first put forward the principle known as "Ockham's Razor": that one should always accept as most-likely the simplest explanation that covers the facts.
		Nevertheless, William could not have solved the cases if he had not properly prepared a framework of facts and interconnections, which the chance discovery then made meaningful.

		William and Adso soon learn that the intruders are actually seeing not ghosts, but distorted images of themselves in mirrors that have been set up to scare them out of the library.
		The fact that there were men like William debunks the commonly held idea that the everyone in the Middle Ages was simple, and was prone to draw wild conclusions to explain anything that was not readily apparent.
		William has studied logic and the sciences to such a degree that it is an effortless task to explain the mechanics of optics to Adso, or even give the physical characteristics of a horse he has never seen.

	[No title]
		William of Baskerville, Eco’s erstwhile Sherlock, is not burned, as the reader suspects he will be before the novel has reached its climactic conclusion; nor, however, are he and his proto-Watson as wildly successful as the pair who inhabit 221B Baker Street centuries later.
		William and Adso’s first encounter is with Ubertino of Casale, an important figure in the debates between the Franciscans and John XXII that form the political backdrop of the novel.
		William, who moments ago learned that he should have refrained from applying a pattern where none existed, realizes too late that the seventh trumpet of the Apocalypse, fire, and the fate of Jorge, who eats his poisoned book, are a part of the pattern that did not exist until that moment.

		William of Baskerville (Sean Connery) and his novice, Adso of Melk (Christian Slater), arrive in 1327 in a remote Benedictine abby of northern Italy.
		William is an intellectual, possessing a razor-sharp wit, with a Sherlock Holmes approach to deducing mysteries in a rational manner, and a dark secret from his past.
		All the evils of the church are portrayed with accuracy: its greed, its arguments for accumulating wealth while its worshippers remain poor, the Inquistion, the monastery as a place for superstition to flourish, and the doom and gloom of monastic religion.

	The Name Of The Rose (1986)
		William thinks Adelmo killed himself, but another corpse turns up before he develops his theory.
		They want to suppress William’s potential heresy without any nods to reason, which may well be historically accurate but it makes the movie somewhat heavy-handed and one-sided.
		The casting of Connery as William also creates an immediate sense of empathy for the character, as our decades of experience with the actor ensure that we’ll be on his side quickly.

		In his investigations William soon learns that the monastery seems to be shrouded in a dark secret that no ones wants to admit to, as more bodies pile up.
		Unwilling to believe William’s rational deductions, the abbot is eventually calling the inquisitor Bernardo Gui (F. Murray Abraham) to find the one ridden by the devil, committing these murders, and put an end to the mystery.
		Sean Connery gives a suave performance as William of Baskerville and is wonderful to watch, as ever, as he pieces together the puzzle under the admiring eyes of his apprentice — a 16-year old Christian Slater.

	Literatura, El Nombre de la Rosa
		A contrast between aged William (Middle Ages) and youth Adso (Renaissance); contrast between Benedictines (Wealth) and Franciscans (poverty); contrast between Gui (radicalism and fanatism) and William (serenity and realism).
		But based on this contrast I have to say that the horrible crimes that are happening in the Abbey are just a mere excuse that serves us as a conductor string of the story of two antagonist positions.
		William of Baskerville represents the first position, a defender of the Laugh and at the same times a cultivated man, student of the Classics and a very pragmatic man of big sagacity.

		Upon entering the grounds, William notices a fresh grave in the abbey cemetery and learns of the suspicious death of one of the younger monks.
