Since the first time I heard about this book, I had only a few images and what is left around the internet. The real one is mainly written in italian, and also latin and some greek according to what I´ve heard. It is a book that can have a secret or is a huge joke some renaissance guy did. Even the title itself conjures hynos, eros und machia. Enough for me to be to be captivate.
