Krypticon

in Greek, written by Silander, circa tenth century A.D.

This book was taken as booty from the monastery of Christ Pantokrator in Constantinople during the Fourth Crusade. This Byzantine illuminated compendium of strange parables and religious allegories. The lives and deeds of forgotten Orthodox saints are recounted in detail, along with a long, highly unorthodox commentary on the books of the New Testament. Like the Voynich Manuscript, the true contents of this book are hidden. An anonymous member of the Pickman family donated this priceless work to the Orne Library in 1850. (Johnson, Sam, and Sandy Antunes. "Miskatonic University: A Handbook to the Pride of Arkham."
