This list was researched by Anthony Burgess with the purpose of understanding Foucault's Pendulum. The words and subjects herein are widely considered archaic or esoteric. This list is by no means definitive, as some links are fictitious or misspelled (in red). Other links refer to real things (in blue) that unfortunately have yet to be discussed online (in red).

  • "Only for you, children of doctrine and learning, have we written this work. Examine this book, ponder the meaning we have dispersed in various places and gathered again; what we have concealed in one place we have disclosed in another, that it may be understood by your wisdom." -Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa von Nettesheim, De occulta philosophia
  • "Superstition brings bad luck." - Raymond Smullyan, 5000 B.C.
