<p>[QUOTE="2manybooks, post: 10238691, member: 8267"]In the first post about one of these books, Ex Libris posted a link to the most probable explanation for these things - they are fantasy fakes/assemblages, and the language is also made up. From the Interpol notice in the link - "the text is in gibberish, written in a mix of ancient Hebrew, Greek and Latin letters with no actual meaning. In the paper and parchment books the texts are written only with Hebrew letters - usually modern letters, with some actual words but with no logical sentences and or syntax. Most of the books are heavily decorated, many times with gold-like Jewish motifs to increase their attraction."[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
