Many heads were turned, and scholarly necks wrenched, when Prof. Dr. Ignaz Quasi Rosenstock discovered the above 18th-century manuscript underfoot after a sonic boom had shattered a valuable Grecian urn in the Museo della Spanakopita recently. He still proudly recounts how easily he picked up this treasure while other investigators were busily recovering all the shards dating back to the Fourth Millennium B.C. or indeed earlier. Speculations continue concerning how and why this manuscript, now designated Codex 1492, found its way into the aforementioned urn (itself a possible forgery of a Medieval casket), only to be so recently discovered by Prof. Dr. Rosenstock — who had simply entered the premises with the intent of using the nearest men's room. This, his latest musicological discovery, is causing a sensation impervious to any analgesics heretofore known to science. Regarding possible causes of the aforementioned sonic boom, Prof. Dr. Rosenstock remains modestly silent while continuing to celebrate his sudden fame under observation.
