So /lang/ do you think it's a real book with using a real language or an medieval scam?

Maybe it's the Necronomicon?

 No.667

I remember reading that from a calligraphic analysis it was discovered that it was the work of more than one person, and it's been estimated that it took many years to finish it. I doubt it's a hoax. I think it's a real book written in a made-up language, perhaps to preserve and protect information that was considered dangerous in those days.

 No.672

It's not that improbable that it's real but encrypted.

Famous medieval scholars like Hildegard von Bingen used to encrypt some of their books.

 No.696

Some of the letters look Armenian and Georgian. There are some ligatures in the text.

 No.699

>dangerous in those days
Thats interesting as fuck. It may be the necronomicon after all.
