He wanders through its narrow, winding streets, admiring the old Gothic churches, beside which appear the first of the new buildings in the Renaissance style. At last he stops at the foot of Wawel Hill, from the top of which the royal palace dominates the city and the Vistula. Picture IX Twardowski presents himsely to Martin, the old doctor, for whom he has an introduction from the priest of his village. He is received in a vast and gloomy laboratory, full of stuffed beasts, owls, and curious instruments and, above all, of books and manuscripts.
