Received notice of yet another book claiming time travel,
but the author slipped up bigtime even in the press
release...
-----------------
It sounds intriguing, no details of the mechanism and it
lost it completely with the following new age drivel;
> Peter Krassa illuminates his thesis with sparkling accounts of the life and
> achievements of such FELLOW TIME-TRAVELERS as Madame Blavatsky, Rudolph
> Steiner and Thomas A. Edison, and some others not quite so well-known, such
> as the controversial free energy inventor/genius(?) John Worrell Keely....
In all the documents I have ever read by any of the
aforementioned people did they remotely suggest or state
that they had travelled in time, mentally or
physically....just more new age junk latching onto time
travel in hopes of sales.
Perhaps this monk believes he really did it and the author
just hooked in his own interpretation. Depends on how much
detail is provided about the machine that could lend itself
to experiment and possible replication.

>
> In the middle decades of our century, an Italian
> Benedictine monk claimed to have made just such a journey.
> His name was Father Pellegrino Maria Ernetti. He was a
> priest and scientist and musicologist, one of the world's
> leading authorities on archaic music. He claimed to have
> yoked the insights of modern physics to the ancient occult
> knowledge of the astral planes to build, in secret, a time
> machine--the chronovisor. He asserted that, using the
> chronovisor as his eyes and ears, he had watched Christ
> dying on the cross and attended a performance of a
> now-lost tragedy, Thyestes, by the father of Latin poetry,
> Quintus Ennius, in Rome in 169 B.C.
>
> Many have disputed Father Ernetti's claims, regarding
> which the Benedictine monk fell strangely silent in the
> last decade of his life. They say this distinguished
> scientist-priest was not telling the truth. But why would
> the brilliant Father Pellegrino Ernetti, so accomplished
> in other fields that his counsel was sought all over
> Europe, be driven to such a fabrication?
>
> This American edition of Father Ernetti's Chronovisor,
> translated from the German, contains the first translation
> ever out of Latin of the text of Thyestes which Father
> Ernetti claimed to have brought back with him using the
> chronovisor. It, and other newly-discovered documents,
> contain astonishing revelations. They make it impossible
> to dismiss the claims of the strange, tormented and
> brilliant Father Pellegrino Ernetti.
