Mystery Manuscript Baffles Collectors Rob Taormina knows he has hold of something good, but he’s not certain how good. He thinks it could be the "best find of the decade" within the field of book and manuscript antiquities. Taormina, a New York book collector and dealer, managed to run across a 13th century illuminated manuscript -- a vellum covered manuscript with several bright colorful pages. Historically, the document is linked to the Roman Catholic church. It makes references to Aristotle, Plutarch and other great thinkers of the period. The subject of the manuscript, seemingly written by an intellectual within the church, makes the argument that poetry has a higher, moral purpose. This could be the earliest reformation mss with secular references. - 2006-08-27
