Welcome to the BD, and to this thread in particular, dear Jack

Read the rules on the first page of the thread. Or, if you want it in summed up form = no, no books are allowed, people are literally translating bits of the English text to the languages they actually know. Knowing French and Spanish, you are mostly fit to plunge in. One guessing out the previous riddle and having the answer confirmed by the riddler may pose another question

cheers

So, Guinevere've got it right. Apologies for a delay
