Introduction

A 530-year-old Florentine manuscript and drawn sketches resurface in the Baltic Seaport of Lubeck. Fine arts lecturer Elizabeth Harrington is asked by a former student to assist his family in the task of authenticating these renaissance writings and drawings currently in their possession.
