According to the legend, he lived in Parisduring the 14th century, where he worked as a copyist. During the performance of his duties, he came across a verylarge and very ancient book, bound in brass and written on papyrus leaves gilded with gold.The writing on the cover was in a strange and unknown language, and the book was organized into three sectionsof seven leaves each. Strange images and figures were painted on the seventh leaf of each section, including a virginbeing swallowed by serpents, a serpent being crucified on a cross, and a beautiful landscape watered by fountains fromwhich many writhing serpents emerged.Nicholas spent many years in deciphering the writings and the symbols of the book which, of course, includedinstruction in the process of transmuting base metals into gold.

That question is one of the biggest challengesin the scientific study of marriage. 22 Surveys conducted in person are likely to underestimate the real rate ofadultery because people are reluctant to admit such behavior not just to their spouses but to anyone.

While infidelityrates do appear to be rising, a vast majority of people still say adultery is wrong, and most men and women do notappear to be unfaithful.
