The Manuscript Found in Saragossa

Count Yang Pototsky (1761 - 1815) was an extremely unusual person, whose biography stores many riddles. An outstanding archaeologist and traveler, geographer and ethnographer, publisher and diplomat, he was simultaneously a famous mystic, close to the Freemason and Knights of the Maltese Order, with whom he maintained mysterious contacts all his life. Even the death of this man was mysterious: exhausted by chronic migraines, Pototsky shot himself from a pistol, for some reason charged ... a silver bullet that he cast with his own hands. However, the main secret that he left for the descendants is the only work that he wrote and rewritten all his life, "manuscript found in Saragos".
