Manuscripts

In the course of my studies through collage we had to study the history of graphic design, and one of the topics that we covered were Manuscripts. Like the Gutenberg Bible for example. We also studied block printing and etching which was on of the steps towards printing the Manuscripst into books. In Dark Realms Issue 21 I read a short passage explaining different types of manuscript that have been discovered through the course of history. Highlighted in the article was the The Book of the Dead, Dead Sea Scrolls, and voynich manuscripts. All very fascinating. Although as stated in the article much of these books are still topic of debate about how they had been used or why the books had even been created in the first place. Though some believe that one of the manuscripts called the Necronomicon manuscripts is real. however, these writing in the Necronomicon where written by H.P Lovecraft who is one of my favorite writers. Perhaps I'll create my own Manuscript that one day will be discovered and questioned about its reason of existing? Till then check out the article written by Joseph Lorillo entitled "Mystical Manuscript" in Dark Realms.
