Two off the top of my head... vandevere Send a noteboard - 21/04/2012 07:55:46 PM
1) Bomarzo by Manuel Mujica Láinez. A fascinating book, with dippings into the philosophy and religion of the era...

2) The glory of the Empire;: A novel, a history, by Jean d' Ormesson. It's a fictional Take on an entirely fictional Empire, based on Rome and Byzantium; and it has everything, including scholarly footnotes, some even in French and German.

I'm thinking Larry might like the second one...
If the human brain were so simple we could understand it, we would be so simple we couldn't understand it.
