He's intelligent and popular, but haunted by the violent death several years earlier of his father, an academic who devoted his life to studying one of the rarest, most complex and most valuable books in the world. The Hypnerotomachia Poliphili has baffled scholars who have tried to understand its many mysteries since its publication in 1499. Coded in seven languages, the text is at once a passionate love story, an intricate mathematical labyrinth, and a tale of arcane brutality. Tom and his roommate stir up matters and find themselves in great danger when they discover a long-lost diary and a fellow researcher is murdered.* A NEAR FINE copy of the 1st. 1st. with minor faults reducing it to VG+.*
