Abstract

The title of the book and movie comes from the sentence with which both end: “the ancient rose remains in the name, nothing beyond the name have we got”. The rose itself has, for innumerous ancient cultures, always represented the female secret, silence, non-laughter, the non-utterance about anything, but, otherwise, contemplation, feeling, living and being reborn. For the Christian monks in a mind-devastated Europe by the anti-pagan persecution, the rose was the sublime temptation that could transubstantiate itself in a mystical emblem of the feminine aspect of the divine.
