TR and M&D

[Richard Romeo]

from pg. 300 of The Recognitions. echoed in M&D, imho:

"what did the devil teach Gerbert, Archbishop of
Ravenna, in exchange for his soul, which Gerbert
bartered to learn all, and become Pope? The devil
taught him algebra and clock making, for a world where
there is no space, only distances; no time, only
minutes and hours; where things are numbered, and even
Christ bowed with finite care when he gave SS
Elizabeth Matilda Bridget a written account of the
kicks, blows and wounds he had received"...(continues
with descriptions of mystical events defined in
mathetical terms
