In 1880, Léon de Rosny figured out that the two extant parts of the Tro-Cortesianus Codex (also know as the Madrid Codex) were a single codex and Spaniards were very lucky to have one of the most important codices of the Maya civilization because it's the longest of the surviving Maya codices.

The Hermetic Codex - Free ebook download as PDF File (.pdf), Text File (.txt) or read book online for free. Religious symbolism may have been initiated in Egypt 11,000 BC. According to Gerald Massey there was a religion of the god Iu or Iao in Egypt thirteen thousand years ago. That god was Atum-Iu, born son of Ptah. He was the earliest father in heaven – the sky-deity, who may have been inherited to the Indo-Europeans. 6000 years ago an Indo-European people initiated an overwhelming successful and monumental idea in designing a Proto-Indo-European-language and a corresponding religion, which covered the globe in the following six millenniums. No region has been spared from this gigantic wave and we may identify the influence in all continents and all historical records. Therefore it has been easy to reconstruct the basic principles for the Proto-Indo-European religion and language, which partially seem to have been copied to the Hebrew religion as well. The PIE-System has been designed as a bipolar concept of an androgynous deity, which created an androgynous human being according to its own image, consisting of a male and a female half. The first androgynous human being has been encoded in the divine name (e.g. Diéu), in the corresponding pronoun of the first person singular (e.g. iéu) and in the colours red (male), blue (female) and purple (androgynous, divine). After destruction of the PIE-religion the converted PIE-peoples must have been motivated enough to rescue some of their ancient androgynous PIE-symbolism in their new Christian environments. Mediterranean peoples (French, Italian, Spanish) were able to preserve their divine names (Diéu, Deus, Dio, Dios) and their divine pronouns (iéu, je, eu, io, yo, I, etc.), whereas the a great number of peoples (French, Dutch, English) managed to conserve the symbolic colours, which previously also had been documented in the Bible, in their coats-of-arms, flags, paintings and tombs. Others conserved some of the ancient androgynous sculptures and hieroglyphic runes, which have been excavated in recent years. Although the basic PIE-principle is easily understood none of these PIE-symbols seem to have been recognized at first glance. This description may provide access to the idea of PIE-religion and -language in explaining the religious symbolism in the divine names, in the personal pronouns and in the colour code of the flags.

Codex Third Level - Ssisao, South Irusaq 15TH Century Post Imperium: Ssisao is noted for its vast library – the largest in the known world, and the source of all knowledge. The library is so huge that it must be managed by a series of three levels of Codex Masters. The Master of the Third level is the most senior, and is said to be the most learned man in the whole of Irusaq. His task is to preserve the most valuable books from the heat and the numerous creatures of the desert (they can destroy a book in an hour). The most valuable volumes are kept in wax cases, fashioned by a whole sub-city of beekeepers who are directly responsible to the Third Master. His robe features three layers of waxed script, as well as three pearls, indicating that the knowledge he protects is worth as much as the rarest of Nrati-Tuan pearls, if not more. As a result, anyone wearing a Robe of this weight and fragility has to be carried to official occasions by a contingent of loyal beekeepers, who are prepared to give up their own lives to protect their great Master.

Очень многие «книжники» с радостью поговорят с вами о той или иной философской теории, обсудят состояние современной литературы и бессмертное величие классики, достоинства одного автора и недостатки другого. Но мало кто будет говорить о темной нише литературного процесса, непознанной и редко…
In 1976 Luigi Serafini, an Italian artist, architect and designer, decided to write about an imaginary world. The end result was utterly bizarre.
Imagine you could talk to Hieronymus Bosch, the authors of the Book of Revelation, or of the Voynich Manuscript—a bizarre 15th century text written in an uncrackable code; that you could solve centuries-old mysteries by asking them, “what were you thinking?” You might be disappointed to hear them say, as does Luigi Serafini, author and illustrator of the Codex Seraphinianus, “At the end of the day [it’s] similar to the Rorschach inkblot test.
