If you want to see one of the top (really) scary books ever, go to the Monastery of Santi Giovanni e Paolo and ask to see Saint Gemma’s (manuscript) journal which was burned by the Devil.
I thought of Psalm 118 (119), too. Must add that though I love it there are only some passages I would readily recognise. Definitely spent too little time in Benedictine monasteries. I shall set down 118 for you. Maybe count it double.

Erm…Psalm 119 (sometimes called 118). Does that count as 10 Psalms. Its long enough and gorgeous enough. It’s like Ravel’s Bolero only much better.

Wait, have you gone to Rome?

I did go to Rome. I am back. So did Aelianus. He is back too. Zadok is still in Rome.
