You get to retrieve 1 (one) lost book from history. Which one

One of the books of the Sybelline prophecies, held in the Temple of Jupiter.

What might be even more interesting would be a chance to see the books that were supposedly burned before Tarquinius Superbus paid up.

>Any lost work by Pythagoras
>Any lost work by Proclus
>The Chaldean Oracles
The Neoplatonic "Gospel", considered to be revealed by the gods and contain the essence of to all Platonic and Pythagorean philosophy. Survived only in fragments.
>Aristotle´s On the Pythagoreans
Aristotle's still considered the best source on the Pythagoreans due to scarse passages alone. He, however, wrote an entire book on the Pythagoreans, unfortunately lost.
>Pherecydes of Syros' Heptamychia
Pherecydes is said to be Pythagoras' teacher. In this book he taught his doctrine by means of myths.

Against the galileans. Blew the early christfaggots out so hard they burned all the copies after Julian died.

The criticism of abrahamic religions Marcus Aurelius wrote that got christians and jews so buttsteamed they burned every single copy to the point where there's no known examples.

Better specify at what moment in time -- those fuckers were re-written and destroyed and recreated more than once.

Partially survives in quotes incorporated into other sources.

Presumably you know this, but somebody else might not.

I think your assertion about why it was destroyed may be a bit off. The work was destroyed more as being offensive, along with other pagan texts, than out of any irrefutably solid argument it raised. The bits of it we still have are from quotes from refutations, after all.

Never heard of this one, so you interest me. Can't even find a reference to it, can you say anything more?

First draft of "Dr. Jekyll and Mister Hyde." Stevenson wrote the draft in one night, but it so terrified his wife that he destroyed it. Later, unable to get the story out of his head, he wrote it again -- presumably this version did not sufficiently terrify his wife that it had to be likewise destroyed, and that's the basis for the story we have.

Not of huge historical importance, but I'm curious...

A book I loved as a child and read all the time but lost it one day and cant remember its name or plot details.
