Borgia’s Forbidden Book
Norwegian title: Borgias forbudte bok
Precious gems, corrupt popes, incest, impotence, massacre, plagiarism, the forbidden books of the Vatican, the French Revolution, Leonardo da Vinci and Machiavelli. There’s room for all these elements in a little book that is, above all, about the love of ancient books and stones. Jørn H. Hurum and Torstein Helleve have written about an extremely rare book and its incredible journey through 500 years of European and scientific history.
