Cool little article about a book of alchemy that contains a mysterious set of tables. It took four hundred years to reverse-engineer the algorithm for generating the tables, and this article is about not only that, but further reverse-engineering a mechanical computer that could have been built when the book was written.
Neat stuff! Very Italian in nature.
