The Rule of Four is a novel written by Ian Caldwell and Dustin Thomason, and published in 2004. Caldwell, a Princeton University graduate, and Thomason, a Harvard University graduate, are childhood friends who wrote the book after their respective graduations.
The book is set on the Princeton campus during the weekend of Good Friday, 1999. The story involves four Princeton seniors, friends and roommates, working on finishing their senior independent work. Two of the students are scholars of an extremely rare, beautifully decorated and very mysterious book— the Hypnerotomachia Poliphili.
