The Prohibita, a list of forbidden artefacts, is taken from a larger, multi-volume work known as the Ars Magica. It is cited as one of the seminal works describing portals and teleportation.
Important information: a chaotic and lethally dangerous portal. All experimentation categorically forbidden. Magic may not be used in the Tower of Gulls or in close proximity to it, particularly not teleportation magic. In exceptional cases, the Chapter will examine applications for permission to enter Tor Lara and for inspections of the portal. Applications should be supported by evidence of research work already in progress and of specialisation in the subject area.

Geralt finds this excerpt in the Salamandra base, near the Circle of Waning Power, where he also finds the second power stone. It mentions Alvaro's Portal. This item can not be picked up, it can only be consulted. The spelling mistake for Thanedd (Thanned) is in the game / item description.
