London England: Sidgwick & Jackson Ltd. 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.

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.
