13/08/2022 - Enregistrement n° 38 - 02:01:25 :25: No parallel between the Owl and Max's later hunts

(Q - ??: a question about bibliographic research. in other later hunts, Max had a cryptic phrase like this was the only research and it sucked seriously. here we talk about a lot of imagination, trigger, rather in the end you can tell us or not about a certain type, perhaps about a way of obtaining information, of doing bibliographic research, it could be another type of research but in substance?)

MB : in reality, we have already had the opportunity to talk about it and I insist on this point, there is a very big difference between the hunt for the golden owl and the later hunts of Max Valentin. Between the golden owl and Orval, 15/16/17 years have passed and it is not at all the same character between the riddles of the golden owl and the hunts which followed.
Therefore, whatever notions you can conjure up in recent hunts following the golden owl have nothing to do with what he had in mind at the time he made the owl Golden. At the time of later hunts, he had the culture of madits, he had collected a lot of information from researchers, he had an image to support and promote and sell for his sponsors or clients and he had a role to play compared to the players of other hunts, since he had a role to play where he was officially recognized as someone very cultured, very astute, very intelligent, which he undoubtedly was and he based on this side of the character so the more we advanced in his hunts the more it was documented, the more intellectual it was, the more there were discoveries, whatever you want but I don't think there was anything to draw a parallel between the hunts after 1993 and the Golden Owl.

MB : okay, but I think that at the time he did that, we weren't talking about historical excavations.
