Piranesi's Journal

Item from Piranesi by Susanna Clarke

Years of meticulous notebooks filled with tidal observations, statue catalogues, sketches of halls, and the quiet, devoted record of a life lived entirely inside the House.

Also known as: The Journals, Piranesi's Notebooks, The Record

What They Know

• Contains years of meticulous tidal data — enough to predict flooding patterns with considerable accuracy
• Includes the most comprehensive catalogue of the House's statues ever compiled, with sketches, locations, and Piranesi's personal observations
• Records the position and condition of all thirteen dead people, with dates of discovery and descriptions of any belongings found
• Contains fragmentary evidence of Piranesi's true identity — words, skills, and references that point to a life before the House — hidden in plain sight among the observations
