I'm wondering can anyone direct me to where I might find this document 
written by Robert Borski around 1998 regarding Gene Wolfe's Fifth Head 
of Cerberus. Apparently it was available on his website which is no 
longer accessible.

Looks interesting, too.

That's weird at the moment I'm getting the following error:

http://webpages.charter.net/rborski/index.html is not available in the 
Wayback Machine. Try another request or click here to see if the page is 
available, live, on the Web.


I'll try later. Thanks!

The guy who wrote LEXICON URTHUS (sort of an A-Z dictionary of
Severian's world) has something called "Cicerone Sinister" available
at his website http://www.siriusfiction.com/fifth.html 

I gather its a print version of  the document your looking for
+extras. Or something similar thereto.

I look forward to Lexicon Urthus 2nd Ed. Thanks for the link to Cicerone 
Sinister I'll order it.

I was able to reach Cave Canem from:
http://web.archive.org/web/*/webpages.charter.net/rborski

Thanks �ystein and viv
