Cloud Atlas Ch. 2

Frobisher steals three "*v.* early, early 17th C." volumes (later 
referred to as "illuminated manuscripts") from Ayrs's library and plans 
to send them to Sixsmith to sell on to the shonky antique book dealer, 
Otto Jansch, but instead Jansch comes to Bruges to pick them up from 
Frobisher in person (ps 65, 68, 72, 74).
