Found some references: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maimonides http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mishneh_Torah http://www.chabad.org/library/article_cdo/aid/682956/jewish/Mishneh-Torah.htm Although it's great fodder for movies and ppl into conspiracy theories, getting an audited list of all the Vatican books/artifacts tucked away (and then digitizing everything) would be amazing to see in our lifetime.
