The Quest for His Grave, Lost and Not Yet Found"
The Quest for His Grave, Lost and Not Yet Found"
Quote about the cover illustration, miniature no. 7 from a travelogue by the Venetian Carlo Maggi, published in 1578, and very similar to miniature no. 8 which already served as cover of the prequel, The Quest for the Lost Grave":
"It is not clear, though, in which drawing the ship sails and in which it docks. The author notes, however, that the skies have turned darker in 7. Neither is it clear whether the predominant colour, the seventh in any rainbow, will turn red or blue, as in a litmus test."

Two more quotes:
- "If this book is flirting with the unscholarly, again, if it is free-wheeling writing, as was already a comment on the first part, I confess that the enclosing chapters of this sequel hardly fit the main body and may force me to write a more fictional and third book".
- "Still and eagerly awaiting the technical results of the second phase, the search for the lost grave will never be the same anymore."
