I'm in the middle of reading The Rule of Four and have to say it's not a particularly inspiring piece of writing considering the way some people have compared it to Umberto Eco, who's an amazing author.
Anyhow, what is intriguing is its central subject: the Hypnerotomachia Poliphili by Francesco Colonna. I had never heard of it before but it seems a fascinating book and even more so for having encrypted messages throughout.
Has anyone read the Hypnerotomachia Poliphili? Or looked at the ciphers within it?
