1 : The Index (The Ninth Gate)

The Analysis of the Index

The Organization There are a total of nine illustrations (or images). Five of these images are indexed or at least follow some order, but the remaining four are not. One of the changes I made was placing the Appendices after the four non-indexed images, at the very end like most books.

There are a total of nine illustrations (or images). Five of these images are indexed or at least follow some order, but the remaining four are not. One of the changes I made was placing the Appendices after the four non-indexed images, at the very end like most books. The Four Horsemen The labels of the non-index images are misleading as this is my own interpretation, but there might be some significance to the way they are separated. I believe the non-indexed images are related to the idea of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse [en.wikipedia.org]





The Ninth Gate Connection

In the movie the correct images are LCF (our equivalent to BDN). The images authored by AT (our equivalent to CGO) had one aspect of the image wrong. The general consensus regarding BDN and CGO are as follows.



BDN is Baldwin

The person we are trying to find, just as the protagonist in The Ninth Gate was looking for LCF. The illustrations authored by Baldwin are accurate and reliable.

CGO is Cagliostro

Coauthored the illustrations, his versions are copies of the original BDN illustrations that probably doesn't exist anymore. Although they are copies, CGO would make one change in his version of the illustrations to conceal Baldwin's secret.









Circling the correct images which are authored LCF in two different books .

Significance to Payday 2 If the BDN illustrations are accurate, then llustrations authored by CGO must be converted to BDN versions by figuring out what aspect of the illustrations are falsely depicted. The best way is to look at the only three BDN illustrations we have for clues.

Pro Jobs Considering our contracts have Pro Job equivalents, we may have to consider if there is a relationship between the CGO illustrations and Pro jobs. We have to remember one aspect of the CGO illustration is different.

Bain's Index page is often left out of the discussion. It gives us an organization system on reading these images. Although it is possible the images are out of order, the foundation of my guide is based on the premise that the index has them correct. This is also placed afterwhich was how I came to the conclusion that Codex Raptus was a story ofThese images are presented in a similar style as the movie. The connection to this movie is not a coincidence and I think it is something to follow.
