Something to chew on
By Mrs. T. Miller
I have now read both Imprimatur and Secretum, as after Imprimitur I needed more. Indeed, it is a little heavy at times; I quite enjoyed it but if it bothers you skim over it. But it will be your loss. It drags you in, leads you in circles and the second book is even better. Just try and find 'The Vessel'. I did, but it took a combination of carefully reading the notes at the end of the book and searching Google Earth. Even then you need to know what it is known by in present times. That is one of the great things about these books: they lead to other things you simply must discover. You find yourself inserted into an alien but not alien landscape. It is our own past.It certainly beats the pants off most mystery or detective novels I have read in my life.What does disturb me: I still do not know the name of the narrator. I suspect it is given at the beginning of the second novel, but haven't found it yet. Perhaps we are not meant to know it.I really need the next novel, Veritas, translated into an English version. Soon.

Intrigue and a real sense of life in 17th century Rome
By P. McCLEAN
This novel has been constructed in a fashion suitable for presenting circumstantial evidence that undermines the generally accepted understanding of the political history of late seventeenth century Europe, and in particular it implicates a highly regarded Pontiff in financial transactions that would not only call into question his credentials as a pastoral leader, but also his commitment to the Catholic Church.Given the book was designed for a particular purpose other than telling a story it does have some attributes that could lead to irritation in the reader's mind, but while one could quibble over issues like the coincidental circumstances that bring together so many vital players in the story I think it more than compensates for such possible flaws with its erudite presentation of the material, the clever weaving of several plot lines, and the intricate way in which the action is worked into the historical realities of the period. We are treated not only to a history lesson, but are also educated in the nature of life in Rome of the 1680s.The overriding thought I was left with having read the novel was that we know nothing of the past for certain, and, in fact, probably know very little about the present either. As one of the main characters reflects towards the end of the book, "It's not that newspapers are quite useless: they are simply not made for searchers after the truth".

Imprimatur
By Miketang
I bought this with high hopes after seeing the reviews. Unfortunately it promised far more than it delivered. It completely eludes me why this should have caused a furore in Italy. Anyone believing that a 17th Century Pope - who was then a secular as much as a spiritual leader - was exempt from the pursuit of realpolitik knows little about history. Innocent XI was engaged in a running battle with Louis XIV over the rights of Rome as opposed to Louis' wish for supreme authority over the French Church ( a battle Louis eventually lost). There was nothing particularly scandalous about the Vatican having diplomatic relations with Protestant states to counter the interests of an over-powerful France. Similarly financial and trade relations between Catholic countries and Protestant ones were well-entrenched and - as now - were carried on over and above national or religious affiliations.Is what the authors say about being hounded out of Italy credible? If so, it is a mark of the irrationality of their Catholic fundamentalist compatriots. Or it may of course have been wholly or partly a clever PR ploy. If so, I confess it was part of what attracted me to buying the book. It's not just gullibility; the cloak and dagger does appeal to the imagination.What started as an interesting idea became tediously over-extended as one seemed to spend page after page traversing underground tunnels below Rome in between receiving extended lectures about aspects of early modern European history. I suppose the latter might have been informative (if misleading)to those with no knowledge of the period. Whoever wrote this certainly had it in for Louis XIV. But frankly the sub-plot take on Fouquet,to anyone conversant with the real history of that period, strains credulity to the utmost. Moreover there is a limit to the number of underground hikes one can get excited about. The book would have benefited from severe pruning. It is not as though (allowance made for this being a translation) the prose was at all remarkable. It was becoming something of an effort towards the end of the main story. But again the resolution of the early modern biological warfare plot lacked credibility and I think I could have arrived at a better plot device for resolving the "cure" element of the plague motif myself. That of the authors is frankly risible. That said, on a positive note I did find the deconstruction treatment and historical notes in the final part of the book compelling reading. If only it had not been so long postponed! The historical notes produced some fascinating information and connections, although many of the conclusions were inevitably speculative - particularly, as the authors noted at several points, where documents were "missing". Novelists can cite the absence of material as mysterious and suggestive; historians unfortunately can not. Nevertheless in some ways these were the most interesting parts of the book. Overall I therefore found this a moderately good but overlong divertissement supplemented by some fascinating historical material. However, be prepared for a slog that ultimately seems disproportionate to the pay-off.
