Eldest Daughter, I got this from Dave Barry. It looks as if Petrarch really did have a “secretum.” And he just couldn’t get his head on straight? See ED’s post on Petrarch.
Best quote from a spokesman on the disappearance of Petratch’s skull:
“Think of all the craniums in the world – where would we look?
Our only hope now is to make an appeal in the hope that someone who is the descendant of the thief might return it anonymously.”
