An exquisite book of puzzles that combines philosophy with fun, Master Alciat's Riddles comprises 100 mysterious and beautiful etchings from the 16th to the 18th century, each of them conveying a moral or an allegory. The reader's job is to determine the message contained within each etching.

Pierre Martin teaches Renaissance literature at the University of Poitiers and is an expert on symbols and devices, a literary genre in its own right, as well as a connoisseur of Renaissance games.
