 Brown's novel also conflates this meridian with a gnomon in the Parisian church of Saint-Sulpice marked in the floor with a brass line, as did the 1967 Priory Document "Le Serpent Rouge - Notes sur Saint-Germain-des-Près et Saint-Sulpice de Paris".The Paris Meridian actually passes about 100 metres east of the gnomon, which according to Sharan Newman and a sign in the church was "never called a Rose-Line".A St Sulpice booklet dating from 2000, in the pages about the history of the gnomon, describes the brass line as "a meridian"; it does not use the term "Roseline" or "Rose Line".
