Oh--any hints on where in TBotSS I should look for the history by the guy from Chicago? I have only a vague memory of that.
"In addition [to Scleroderma's account], there was a man in Urbasecundus who was said to have produced a similar book, although I had never seen it."
Slow learner department: It suddenly hit me that the "man in Urbasecundus" is Gene Wolfe, and the "similar book" is his text of the BotLS. Duh. --Dan'l

Well, at least it hit you without your being told. I didn't get it even with Mantis's hint (Chicago). What I e-mailed to Brian the Invisible Librarian was that it was presumably about Urbs, but I think I should correct that. Maybe just Pseudo-Author: a man from Urbasecundus Pseudo-Title: unknown Comments: another history of the same events
