Talk: Hypnerotomachia Poliphili

I read that there was some common symbolism with Phileas Fogg from Around the World in Eighty Days. Something about the esoteric (Masonic?) leanings of Jules Verne. Confirmation? -- Error

I have never heard of this; it is certainly not impossible. I would have thought Verne to have been more of a rationalist, but he does use such devices as Runic cyphers and similarly esoteric themes. -- IHCOYC 03:43, 30 Jul 2003 (UTC)

Oh no. There are some more symbolism. Robur the Conqueror (R.C.) and Rosicrucians. Something about Clovis Dardentor and L'ardent or de Clovis (old treasure at Rennes le Chateau). He seemed to like esoteric references. -- Error 04:06, 30 Jul 2003 (UTC)
