In the Prologue of The Joshua Memorandum, Roman Emperor Constantine receives a missive from his mother, Helena Augusta, who has been doing excavations in Palestine. She requests his assistance in correctly translating an Aramaic scroll she has recently discovered there-a scroll with revelations which could prove troublesome to her new-found Christian faith.

The box contained three old scrolls, on one of which was attached the ring. They kept the ring and turned the scrolls over to their grandfather who, after consulting with the village priest, had them hidden. What John does not know is that Professor Vernon's fascination with his ring and the further research he does on it, together with two other totally independent events that take place during that summer, will lead to the discovery of the scrolls and the eventual disclosure of their contents.
