<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GinoLR, post: 8173221, member: 128351&quot;]I read this one (in a French translation) :</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1428032[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>It is the real story of how an Italian 15th c. humanist discovered buried in some Alpine monastery a single forgotten manuscript of a then unknown Latin poem : <i>De Natura Rerum</i> by Lucretius. This poem explained among other things how the universe was created : a purely natural process by which atoms of diverse kinds falling in vacuum collided with others and aggregated with some of them to form material bodies like stars and the earth with everything that&#039;s on it! It was a Latin adaptation in verse of Epicurus&#039; <i>Physics</i>, a fundamental text which is unfortunately lost... </p><p><br /></p><p>Needless to say that such a forgotten manuscript was more dangerous for mental sanity than Abdul Alhazred&#039;s <i>Necronomicon</i>: this one was real, and could make the reader doubt of the biblical view of Creation. After reading it, you couldn&#039;t think the same way as before.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
