15th-century work inspires latest entry in code-cracking trend.(The Dallas Morning News)
Byline: Jerome Weeks
Impress your friends. Try name-dropping this mouthful: HIP-neroto-MOCK-ee-ah PAH-leh-FEE-lee.
Well, impress your bookish friends, anyway. Loosely translated, Hypnerotomachia Polifili means "The Struggle of Love in Polifilio's Dream," and the unusual book from 1499 is the inspiration for ``The Rule of Four,'' the new ``Da Vinci Code''-like hit mystery.
"These days," says John Thomas, "we seem to have a little tempest in a teapot of novels revolving around the secrets in books" _ referring not only to ``The Da Vinci Code'' but also Lev Grossman's ``Codex'' and, of course, Umberto Eco's ``The Name of the Rose'' (1983).
