Robert Langdon is a professor of Religious Symbology at Harvard University in
Cambridge, Massachusetts. His specialities include classical iconology, symbols
of pre-Christian culture, goddess art, and the decryption of ancient ciphers. He
has written over a dozen books, including The Symbology of Secret Sects, The Art
of the Illuminati, The Lost Language of Ideograms, and the renowned collegiate
textbook Religious Iconology.



Mr. Langdon is in the process of completing his newest manuscript Symbols of the
Lost Sacred Feminine—an exploration of modern religious iconography and its
origins in the ancient goddess cults.

Leonardo's Prophecy?

Last month, while in Florence, Professor Langdon uncovered an ancient parchment
that historians now believe may be the work of Leonardo da Vinci. The encoded
parchment—bearing the name La Profezia (The Prophecy)—raised eyebrows when
scholars discovered it was signed "LSPDV." (Leonardo's full name was Leonardo
Ser Pieri Da Vincio).

More intriguing still is the legend that the visionary Leonardo, in the days
before his death, made a powerful prophecy about the future. Could this be Da
Vinci's long lost prediction? Historians remain eager to learn what this
parchment says. The code has yet to reveal its mystery, but Robert Langdon is
very close to finding the key to deciphering the message.
Leonardo's encoded message consists of 24 symbols. Robert Langdon is certain
there exists a key, and he is working very hard to find it.
