“Sous Le Manteau De La Nuit” (2007)…
Posted by nickpelling on Nov 23rd, 2009
Though I’m not sure from the blurb whether it’s a literary detective story or a love story (it might well be both), Tristan Marechal’s (2007) “Sous le manteau de la nuit” definitely does feature the Voynich Manuscript. The protagonists accidentally discover a painting in the (Florentine, not Venetian) Galleria dell’Accademia’s reserve stock that just happens to contain some Voynichese lettering, and (presumably) everything leads on from there.
At least Dennis Stallings will have something nice to put on his Christmas list this year.

Merci beaucoup, M. Nick! Ça devrait faire un bon cadeau de Noël pour toi aussi, puisque tu parles le français aussi bien que moi.

Actually, these days I can only read high-falutin’ academic French – anything slang and I’m well and truly perdu.
