(urth) Master Ultan's Library

[DAVID STOCKHOFF]

It makes perfect sense. I just have never heard this interpretation.

Actually and symbolically. 



That is the way I think Wolfe intended the parable of the Golden Book
to be read. 

Have you not found and read Severian's autobiography? 

Have you not therefore been in Master Ultan's Library?

        Er, in what sense do you mean that? 

        

Actual? Symbolical? Sarcastical? Fantastical?

Master Ultan's Library is expansive and extends though Time as well.
Your local library is an extension of M. Ultan's Library. Same with
your local bookstore and the bookshelves in your home.
