Book Description
In an effort to cope with the death of his wife, Scott Theisen resumes his passion for writing by reviving a manuscript he started before his marriage to Patricia. The novel is written in the genre of nonfiction a la Truman Capote’s In Cold Blood. It tells the story of the search for an active serial killer, dubbed The Horrorscope Killer, who has been killing women on the dates of the zodiac cusps. Scott meticulously researches the murders, finishes his manuscript, sends out queries, and gets a response from literary agent Lindsay Hangton, who requests a hardcopy of the manuscript. But the manuscript disappears, along with all his electronic and hard copies. Desperate to recover the manuscript, he tracks Lindsay, who is headed to her cabin in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Lindsay’s boss, the owner of Mantis Literary Agency, also has an obsessive interest in the manuscript. Scott and Lindsay meet at a local Indian casino and become romantically involved. As their relationship becomes more intense, they focus on preserving the manuscript and revealing the identity of the serial killer. The fate of all three lives culminates in Lindsay’s cabin as the search for the missing manuscript finally ends in a surprising twist—one of many in this intriguing novel of suspense.

Book Description
The renowned Wellcome Library houses a number of – often literally – unique and rare Sanskrit and Indian vernacular manuscripts, collected by Sir Henry Wellcome himself in the early twentieth century. The present catalogue by David Pingree is the first guide to the important Wellcome collection of manuscripts containing texts on jyotihsastra, which includes astronomy, mathematics, divination and astrology, and covering well over a thousand manuscripts. Descriptions feature information, e.g., on scribes, owners and their families, thus providing much that will prove useful for those studying not only Sanskrit scientific manuscripts themselves, but also their creation, distribution and preservation. A true treasure-trove.

Book Description
In The Horoscope of Emperor Baldwin II Filip Van Tricht presents a microstudy of political, social and cultural life in Latin-Byzantine Constantinople and Romania. A ‘new’ set of sources is used to question the traditionally negative view of the Byzantine capital under Latin rule. Combined with an analysis of other underused historical materials, mid-13th century Latin-Byzantine Constantinople is redefined as a city that—in spite of the Western conquest during the Fourth Crusade—remained dynamic, with vibrant internal and international politics, and with interesting developments in the social, religious, artistic, and scientific spheres. Against the background of a shared Roman past the metropolis on the Bosporus became a fascinating laboratory of Latin-Byzantine interaction.
