David Merrill’s Reviews > The Friar and the Cipher: Roger Bacon and the Unsolved Mystery of the Most Unusual Manuscript in the World > Status Update

I forgot I had this book. It's what grabbed me when The Map That Changed The World got dull. It's partially about Roger Bacon, so it may lead me to finally read Dr. Mirabilis by James Blish, a book that's been on my to read list for years. The beginning of this book really grabbed me. The discovery of a 13th century book written in code that has thwarted its solution for decades is fascinating.
