OCTAVO ROCKS! 
Yes I know my caps lock was on!
The exlibris is interesting!
Even more interesting is Platina and the Re-birth of Man which is his book
on the "discovery" of the manuscript.
Milham goes deeper now in comparing the two but for its time and the fact
that he was not a scholar it is a great book.
