The Voynich Codex...

[fajrdrako]

After we watched Fringe and Supernatural this evening - two shows with a fine capacity for messing with our heads - Pim was telling me about the Voynich Manuscript, which astounds me mostly because I never heard of it before. How did that one pass me by?

That got us - well, me - onto a search of invented scripts, invented languages, and fictional worlds - all subjects I love. The "see also" and the "external links" addenda to this Wiki article are fascinating. Why does this make me think of The Ninth Gate or Le Club Dumas?

It's fun to browse this list of fictional worlds, too.

The Club Dumas

it wasn't about books so much as about lame fire effects

Yes, that was the problem. It should have been about books.

I love the ongoing mystery part.

So do I. I love it that the owner in 1610 was as baffled as we are. I love the way it gets the imagination going.

I was just reading that Hildegarde von Bingen wrote in a script she made up herself. I think it's so cool when people do that sort of thing.
