Gerbert has written a life-long diary, and his former Archbishop, Arnulf, fears it getting into the hands of the current Pope, Benedict VIII. Gerbert/Sylvester’s friend Zosimus has been ordered by Benedict to copy and add to Gerbert’s diary, but the project entails great intrigue, as well as certain danger for Zosimus.

THE GEOMETRY OF UNIVERSAL MIND, by bob Mustin
