Amazon Exclusive: Michael Scott on Nicholas Flamel and The Codex

At the heart of The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel is the ancient book?? The Codex?? the Book of Abraham. The story begins with the theft of the pages from the book and?? as the story progresses?? it becomes clear that not only have the Flamels and Doctor John Dee fought over the book for centuries?? but that the entire adventure really began centuries ago?? when Nicholas bought the book from a mysterious one-handed stranger.

Fantasy fiction is filled with magical books and scrolls?? most famously?? The Necronomicon in the works of H.P. Lovecraft. The extraordinary and shamefully neglected"hton Smith created The Book of Eibon?? while Robert E. Howard?? the creator of Conan?? used the Unaussprechlichen Kulten when he wrote about the Cthulhu Mythos. These are all fictional books--but the Book of Abraham is different. It really existed.

Like everyone else in the series (with the exception of the twins)?? Nicholas Flamel was a real man and we know quite a bit about him. He was a poor bookseller and a scrivener. He would have bought and sold manuscripts and also made a little extra money writing letters for people who could neither read nor write. In his own diaries?? he tells how he bought a 21-page metal-bound book from a mysterious stranger. We even know the price he paid for the book: two florens?? and Nicholas leave us a very clear description of it. " not made of paper or parchment?? as other books are?? but of admirable rinds (as it seemed to me) of young trees."/em>

Nicholas goes on to give a very detailed description of each page. The book was written in a language he could not understand?? so he and Perenelle?? his wife?? set out on a journey across Europe looking for someone who could help them translate the mysterious text. According to Flamel's own account?? in the south of Spain he met a man called Master Canches who helped him begin the process of translation. Canches explained that this book contained the secret of alchemy and that if Nicholas and Perenelle were prepared to spend the rest of their lives studying it?? then it would reveal
