Page 267. This line immediately follows the biblical quote:

"Its words show plainly how much wiser the peoples of ages
long past were than we are now; not for nothing is that
book titled _The Book of the Wonders of Urth and Sky_."

Severian had memorized the entire brown book. His words indicate to me that
Earth is unquestionably in Urth's past.
