A Canticle for Leibowitz

Notes

  1. ^ Brother Francis believes that "a Fallout" is some variety of ancient monster, which he imagines as being half-salamander and half-incubus, and he thinks that the shelter was home to fifteen Fallouts, due to the sign on its entrance.
  2. ^ Other relics include an electrical engineering blueprint with Leibowitz's name on it, and the skull of wife Emily Leibowitz, who was apparently caught in the outer chamber of the shelter when the bombs fell.
  3. ^ The Pope was modeled after Pope John XXIII.
