Finally: A killer app for wikipedia.
Boy, I could have used this twenty years ago:

http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Concordance:Foucault%27s_Pendulum#A

It's incomplete, but I'm sure they've got an abbey full of monks working on it.

FYI: if you haven't read the book, this thread probably won't mean much to you.

2. Arg. Umberto Eco is such a great writer, but you really need to hunker down..
to read his books. No distractions. Just pure focus.

For 'In the Name of the Rose' I had a system of keeping Adso, Abo, Adelmo, Alinardo, and Aymaro straight.
Naming 5 characters like that, monks all of them, in a book is evil.
