Umm Stefan,

I believe Maire is referring tot he movie starring Sean Connery and
Christian Slater based on a book of the same name be Umberto Eco.  It is
basically a murder mystery set in medieval (umm I *think* 12th Century)
Europe.  There are lots of wonderful subtexts regarding the way monasteries
were run, religious attitudes of the time etc.

The library is to die for - I so wish I had one like it.  You should see the
film to understand fully. Quite a good film in my opinion.

Hugs
M.
