The accused was brought in, and Maitre Pierre Maurice, doctor in
theology, read to her the twelve articles as they had been abridged
and commented upon, in conformity with the deliberations of the
University; the whole was drawn up as a discourse addressed to Jeanne
directly:[2443]

[Footnote 2443: _Trial_, vol. i, p. 430.]

ARTICLE I

First, Jeanne, thou saidst that at about the age of
thirteen, thou didst receive revelations and behold
apparitions of angels and of the Saints, Catherine and
Margaret, that thou didst behold them frequently with thy
bodily eyes, that they spoke unto thee and do still
oftentimes speak unto thee, and that they have said unto
thee many things that thou hast fully declared in thy trial.

The clerks of the University of Paris and others have
considered the manner of these revelations and apparitions,
their object, the substance of the things revealed, the
person to whom they were revealed; all points touching them
have they considered. And now they pronounce these
revelations and apparitions to be either lying fictions,
deceptive and dangerous, or superstitions, proceeding from
spirits evil and devilish.

ARTICLE II

Item, thou hast said that thy King received a sign, by which
he knew that thou wast sent of God: to wit that Saint
Michael, accompanied by a multitude of angels, certain of
whom had wings, others crowns, and with whom were Saint
Catherine and Saint Margaret, came to thee in the town of
Chateau-Chinon; and that they all entered with thee and went
up the staircase of the castle, into the chamber of thy
King, before whom the angel who wore the crown made
obeisance. And once didst thou say that this crown which
thou callest a sign, was delivered to the Archbishop of
Reims who gave it to thy King, in the presence of a
multitude of princes and lords whom thou didst call by name.

Now concerning this sign, the aforesaid clerks declare it to
lack verisimilitude, to be a presumptuous lie, deceptive,
pernicious, a thing counterfeited and attacking the dignity
of angels.

ARTICLE III

Item, thou hast said that thou knewest the angels and the
saints by th
