Walkthrough
If you choose to locate the book by following the quest location (PS3) in Hormugstahl, you will come across a line of four levers which need to be moved in the correct order to proceed through the passageway ahead. The order for the levers is as follows from left to right: Forward, Back, Forward, Back.

NOTE: There is a known glitch in which the player will not be able to return the book until AFTER they have obtained the Staff of Magnus, and defeated Ancano. This has been proved for XBOX 360 and PS3.

Console Commands
Optionally PC users may use console command TCL to walk through the barricade and continue on in the quest. Be aware that there is a Locked Iron Door further along in the dungeon that requires the Dustman's Cairn Key. This key is usually obtained in the Proving Honor Quest but can also be obtained using the console command: player.additem 0009AEFF 1
