There are books which still remain unread because their writing and language are a mystery.
The Rohonczi Codex is just such a book filled with unknown sign-strings supplemented by illustrations that depict symbols of the cross, crescent, and sun/swastika and environment where Christian, pagan, and Muslim religions coexist.
This lengthy handwritten book has 448 paper pages. Each page has between 9 and 14 rows of symbols, which may or may not be letters.
Its small format resembles a prayer book. If so, the question is to which religion it is dedicated.
The book, which most likely represents a consciously encoded or enciphered text – remains undeciphered, though many similar translation attempts have been made to solve the mystery.
All conclusions that the mysterious codex is a forgery or perhaps has East-Central European or Hungarian origin have failed. In theory, the Rohonczi Codex may be a cipher, a shorthand system, or an artificial language.
