	Once, after having looked at the Book, Bombastus' apprentice [[Johan]] apparently went mad, once raving that ''"My mind is a small, small cup. Overfilled! Bursting! Cracked!"'' This suggested that madness could come from learning too much from the Book at once. To guard against this, Bombastus often read the Book with his hands at the sides of his eyes as blinders.<ref name="Giovanni Borgia" />		Once, after having looked at the Book, Bombastus' apprentice [[Johan]] apparently went mad, once raving that ''"My mind is a small, small cup.

	Giovanni then began to research at the university library, along with one of Bombastus' apprentices, [[Maria Amiel]].
