The literary device of the «found manuscript», stemming from the ancient chivalric novels, was deployed by some nineteenth-century authors of historical novel. Also, since Umberto Eco’s Il nome della rosa, manuscripts have become important characters in modern fiction. In these pages I intend to show the possible reasons for the frequent presence of manuscripts in this kind of novels. Some of these manuscripts, amongst other possibilities, contain information that could subvert the world order.
