Tks - I'll check it out if I can find a copy.

As an aside: I think the hacks who put together the Chras writings would
have had an abundance of material to work with. There's a snippet in UOTNS
which I think reveals that Typhon was the ruler of Cyriaca's tale, who
founded the library of Nessus. The doctor in the Typhon-era version of the
Matachin Tower, to Severian: "This coast is quake-prone, as the old records
indicate clearly enough - praise to our monarch, by the way, for having them
brought here ...".
