In his debut book, author Simon M. Miles offers an entirely new perspective on one of the most compelling mysteries of our time. He documents an investigation over more than twenty years into the "affair of Rennes", a tangle of puzzles that has fascinated readers and researchers alike for half a century. A minor riddle of local history centred on a tiny village in the south of France became a global phenomenon, yet its secrets have remained tightly sealed. Until now.

The Map and the Manuscript is a genuine gamechanger. Simon Miles has uncovered new evidence that adds a new dimension to the story - and which fatally undermines the sceptical line that the whole thing is just a hoax concocted by a French conman back in the 1960s.
- Clive Prince at Magonia Review
"One of the most important pieces of ancient history I have ever come across."
- Dr Bethe Hagens, Walden University.
"Simply breathtaking and sublime. Truly revelatory."
"The first sensible book to be published on the Rennes-le-Château mysteries."
In my book, The Map and the Manuscript (2022), I revealed the existence of a concealed grid, laid out in inches, hidden in the famous map included by the priest Henri Boudet in his 1886 book La Vraie Langue Celtique.
Further I showed there that this grid corresponds to features inherent in the landscape itself, and represents the transmission of a genuine ancient knowledge into modern times.
I based this interpretation on a facsimile of the map reproduced (in black and white) in an edition of Boudet's book published in 1978 by the Paris publishing house of Belfond. This reprint is identical in size to another facsimile of the map, this time in colour, which was published in another edition, in 1984, by a different publisher, Bélisane. The observation that the two facsimile maps are identical in size suggests that they both faithfully replicate the size of the 1886 original.
But do they?
