The Arcadian Cipher: The Quest to Crack the Core of Christianity's Greatest Secret - Softcover
Fascinated from an early age by the paintings of Poussin, Leonardo and other great masters, Peter Blake has watched as others have made guesses as to their meanings, even linking them to the mysteries surrounding the French village of Rennes-le-Chateau - at the core of the seminal " Holy Blood, Holy Grail" . But from the recurrent geometrical themes Blake has discerned in the paintings, he reaches quite different conclusions from those grasped at by other researchers. For instance, by overlaying the grids found in key paintings of both Poussin and Leonardo on maps of the Langeudoc, he has pinpointed a never-before-discovered hill tomb. If the clues that have lead him this far on the trail are right, this could be the final resting place of two of the most significant characters from the Bible. But the fact that the tomb exists is only a starting point. Through following the trail by which he found it we unravel a rich cloth of learning and religion spun in secrecy over the centuries, and uncover the true identity of a host of remarkable historical characters, all party to the secret of the ciphers - from popes and painters to the real Man in the Iron Mask.

Book Description Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 2nd Impression. Paperback. The Arcadian Cipher. Crease to corner back cover. This is the story of a quest, a search for a place that is not meant to exist. The elect who have been allowed to share its secret across the centuries have employed codes, secret signs, mysterious writings and works of art to ensure its location and significance remains concealed from the uninitiated. Fascinated by ancient history, esoteric writings and the paintings of the greatest Renaissance masters, art historian Peter Blake has watched as others have made guesses as to the codes and meanings that are mebedded in them. But from recurrent themes, symbolism and patterns Peter has discerned, he reaches quite different conclusions from those grasped at by other researchers. Not least, he has uncovered an Arcadian hillside tomb, untouched for hundreds of years. If the clues that have led him along his trail are right, this could be the final resting-place of two of the most significant charcters in the Bible. But the Arcadian tomb we are led towards is only a starting point. For in following its trail, Peter Blake and the writer Paul S. Blezard unravel a rich cloght of learning and religion sopun in secrecy over the centuries.It also binds together a host of remarkable historical characters party to the riddle of the Cipher. For the first time, their secret is to be revealed.Illustrated. 286 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions, Reference books ,and all types of Academic Literature.).
