Langdon
’
s
eyes
widened
further
.
Sophie
explained
that
creating
models
of
Da
Vinci
’
s
inventions
was
one
of
her
grandfather
’
s
best
-
loved
hobbies
.
A
talented
craftsman
who
spent
hours
in
his
wood
and
metal
shop
,
Jacques
Saunière
enjoyed
imitating
master
craftsmen
–
Fabergé
,
assorted
cloisonne
artisans
,
and
the
less
artistic
,
but
far
more
practical
,
Leonardo
Da
Vinci
.
Even
a
cursory
glance
through
Da
Vinci
’
s
journals
revealed
why
the
luminary
was
as
notorious
for
his
lack
of
follow
-
through
as
he
was
famous
for
his
brilliance
.
Da
Vinci
had
drawn
up
blueprints
for
hundreds
of
inventions
he
had
never
built
.
One
of
Jacques
Saunière
’
s
favorite
pastimes
was
bringing
Da
Vinci
’
s
more
obscure
brainstorms
to
life
–
timepieces
,
water
pumps
,
cryptexes
,
and
even
a
fully
articulated
model
of
a
medieval
French
knight
,
which
now
stood
proudly
on
the
desk
in
his
office
.
Designed
by
Da
Vinci
in
1495
as
an
outgrowth
of
his
earliest
anatomy
and
kinesiology
studies
,
the
internal
mechanism
of
the
robot
knight
possessed
accurate
joints
and
tendons
,
and
was
designed
to
sit
up
,
wave
its
arms
,
and
move
its
head
via
a
flexible
neck
while
opening
and
closing
an
anatomically
correct
jaw
.
This
armor
-
clad
knight
,
Sophie
had
always
believed
,
was
the
most
beautiful
object
her
grandfather
had
ever
built
…
that
was
,
until
she
had
seen
the
cryptex
in
this
rosewood
box
.
«
He
made
me
one
of
these
when
I
was
little
,
»
Sophie
said
.
«
But
I
’
ve
never
seen
one
so
ornate
and
large
.
»
Langdon
’
s
eyes
had
never
left
the
box
.
«
I
’
ve
never
heard
of
a
cryptex
.
»
Sophie
was
not
surprised
.
Most
of
Leonardo
’
s
unbuilt
inventions
had
never
been
studied
or
even
named
.
The
term
cryptex
possibly
had
been
her
grandfather
’
s
creation
,
an
apt
title
for
this
device
that
used
the
science
of
cryptology
to
protect
information
written
on
the
contained
scroll
or
codex
.
Da
Vinci
had
been
a
cryptology
pioneer
,
Sophie
knew
,
although
he
was
seldom
given
credit
.
Sophie
’
s
university
instructors
,
while
presenting
computer
encryption
methods
for
securing
data
,
praised
modern
cryptologists
like
Zimmerman
and
Schneier
but
failed
to
mention
that
it
was
Leonardo
who
had
invented
one
of
the
first
rudimentary
forms
of
public
key
encryption
centuries
ago
.
Sophie
’
s
grandfather
,
of
course
,
had
been
the
one
to
tell
her
all
about
that
.
As
their
armored
truck
roared
down
the
highway
,
Sophie
explained
to
Langdon
that
the
cryptex
had
been
Da
Vinci
’
s
solution
to
the
dilemma
of
sending
secure
messages
over
long
distances
.
In
an
era
without
telephones
or
e
-
mail
,
anyone
wanting
to
convey
private
information
to
someone
far
away
had
no
option
but
to
write
it
down
and
then
trust
a
messenger
to
carry
the
letter
.
Unfortunately
,
if
a
messenger
suspected
the
letter
might
contain
valuable
information
,
he
could
make
far
more
money
selling
the
information
to
adversaries
than
he
could
delivering
the
letter
properly
.
