I focus on a recipe for a magic ink that is able to penetrate through the shell and onto the white of a hardboiled egg without leaving any visible trace. It was transmitted reliably for almost two thousand years but ended up muddled and misattributed at the height of the information age. The story involves Papal Inquisitors and Wikipedia editors, American revolutionaries and puzzled magicians—even a cash prize from an American professor for anyone who can get the ink to work. It also shows in real time how a moment in history can change the way we understand the past.
