Kazakhstan displays mysterious manuscript with human skin cover

An ancient Latin manuscript in Kazakhstan, with a cover made of human skin and only 10 out of 330 pages deciphered, is shrouded in mystery.

While the content of the manuscript remains a mystery, Tölepbay said that the book, which belongs to a notary named Petrus Puardus from northern Italy, was written in old Latin in 1532 and consists of a total of 330 pages.

Tölepbay stated that they have sent the manuscript to a special research institute in France for further analysis, adding that based on the first pages they were able to read, it was assessed that the book contained general information about financial transactions such as credit and mortgages. However, the manuscript has not yet been fully deciphered.

That's it everyone! We found it! The Necronomicon has been found!

Except by raising the dead the mad Arab actually meant raising rates. Contacting the old ones still happens though, just, you know, the usual old money families everyone is always taking about.

But seriously, what connection would this have to the knights templar? Nothing, something, proof they were actually deserving the stake?

Don't pay your mortgage or debts? Turn you into a book.

Must be where the term "the skin off your back" came from.
As in "they're so tight with money they'll take the skin off your back". Yeah and then use it to write up mortgage details.
Bankers huh...

If the skin is Caucasian the book is automatically racist.

And if it's not it's double racist. Heaven help if the skin is semitic, have to burn the museum down

Double racist? Is there a multi colored flag now that represents the spectrum of racism?

LMAO

Was it that clichἐ?

You know, for an old accounting ledger, this is prompting some seriously strong reactions.

I wonder why something so mundane would be bound in human skin?

Perhaps after a time researchers will find 'other content' bleached out and written over, like so many old transcripts of those days - when paper was a rare commodity, as we have been told many times before.

And there is the conspiracy. Do you believe "the experts" that a banking ledger was bound in human skin and lost? Our is it an old mad Arab grimoire?
