  1. Perhaps an amateur attempt? Thanks Sandik, where would be the best place to find a ballet dictionary? ... Maybe I can bust a few moves out of the code myself.
  2. I must add, the Rubaiyat also had a residential telephone number written of the back cover, hence the connection with a woman (Mrs Thomson) and her young son living at the address.
  3. Good morning, I'm not at all sure where to put this, I hope you can find a spot for it. W R G O A B A B D This is the first of five lines of a mysterious code written on the back cover of a Rubaiyat. The man who owned it was found dead on a beach near Adelaide on December 1st 1948 and remains unidentified to this day. It was remarked at the autopsy that the man had extremely well-developed calves and thighs, similar to what you might expect of a ballet dancer. Conjecture has it that he was visiting Adelaide to see his two year-old son, Robin Thomson (dec'd), who grew to be a well-known Australian dancer. The connection between the two was a phone number, also written on the back cover. The reason I'm here is to test a theory: the five lines of code were written as an aide-memoire for for an up-coming event, or as a means of remembering the various movements in ballet. For instance. Line 1. Waltz – Relevé – Grand pas – Ouvert – Avant – Balancé – Allongé – Brise – Degage The next line of code reads: WTBIMPANETP. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. pete
