Description: Blavatsky, Steiner, Spalding, Strieber, all claim to have peered into the mists of the past or future and to have penetrated into mankind;s origins and his destiny. 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.

Ernetti, the book does a good job presenting it. Ernetti is also interesting in and of himself, as we learn a bit as to why such an outlandish claim was so well-accepted, given his life as the Vatican's best exorcist. It's an interesting story that can really get some traction as a story on Vatican scientific ignorance, or of basic confirmation bias. The chief problem with the book, however, is that the interesting story that exists is largely ignored because the book is steeped in a pseudoscientific history lesson that weakens the entirety of Ernetti's story as a result. This is not to say that the Chronovisor story is not, in itself, what we'd call truthful, but the loose ties to Edgar Cayce, to Whitley Strieber (really?), are hardly worth the time in context. I think there's a worthwhile pseudoscience text out there that can cover a lot of this. I hate to even slog the book on that level, but the sleight of hand of presenting an interesting quirk as a launching pad for your favorite pseudoscientific adventures just comes across as dishonest.
