ABSTRACT

Now, there is an enchantment in the Zisa palace, connected with a bank of gold coins that is kept there, the biggest bank of gold that ever existed (except for the bank of Ddisisa260). This gold is under a spell cast by devils, who don’t want Christian folk to make off with it. You good gentlemen should know that this palace was built in pagan times, and they assembled all the Emperor’s treasures there. In the arch of the Zisa’s beautiful entryway they painted a host of devils, and people who go there to look at them on the Day of the Annunciation can see them move their tails and twist their mouths. And you can never trust that you’ve counted these devils accurately. This is to show that you can never count the gold coins either, because they are too numerous and remain under a spell, so that nobody can ever remove them.
