As Truant begins to do the editing, however, he begins to lose the tenuous grip he has on reality, and his life begins to erode around him. He stops bathing, rarely eats, stops going to work, and distances himself from essentially everyone, all in pursuit of organizing the book into a finished work that, he hopes, will finally bring him peace.Miniature — the smallest books measuring less than 2″ in height. Often bibles were printed as miniatures so they could be easily carried, children’s books too so they could fit into small hands.

[17] Annie Symons was brought on board as the lead costume designer. [18] Bear McCreary composed the score for the series, and orchestrated the main theme to reflect Leonardo's use of mirror writing.

Karen Green is described as Navidson's partner of many years, and a former fashion model. Despite rearing two children together, Karen is said to have refused marriage to maintain her independence, particularly during Navidson's absences. Karen is seen to have kept a collection of letters from would-be suitors, and interviews with associates reveal that she committed at least one adulterous affair.

In terms of historical accuracy, the show is highly fictionalized, and this is already (and deliberately) made explicit the first episode, playing 1475–1476 (persecution for sodomy 1476; [10] before the Pazzi conspiracy of 1478), when potatoes and tobacco (this one even in the very first dialog) are presented as something commonplace – 15 years before America was even discovered. Likewise, Mithraism had already fully disappeared during Late Antiquity.
