Preparation of 5th edition Codex Oera Linda

Now that the 4th edition is sold out, the 5th is being prepared.

It will no longer have the design of alternating translation and transliteration, but proper paragraphs with on the right (odd) pages the translation and on the left (even) pages a transcription of the original text in Fryas Standskrift. Book size will be like the first two editions (17 x 24 cm), hardcover. It will include some manuscript pages (in black/white, greyscale), no longer colour copies of all 190 manuscript pages.

sample pages

A pre-order possibility will be added to the webshop. Intended production around end of June.

Notes to Kat lady video

An woman named 'Kat' made a video "The Oera Linda Book- Comparing Translations" with claims about Oera Linda and its English translations, including Sandbach's and mine (applauding the first and rejecting the latter). I will post a few examples of the strange twists of mind and low research quality demonstrated in the video.

1. Sandbach's "Kat the priestess"

At ca. 3:26 a video maker was strongly criticized because he referred to burgmaids as "priestesses" (image 1). Later she praises Sandbach's translation (image 2), not aware that the video maker used it (image 3). Compare original manuscript fragment and transliteration Ottema (image 4), also translation Ott (image 5).

Subtitled interview in two parts

Interview by Niels Lunsing and Merlyn van Dobben (Gletsjer Radio), in Dutch language, with subtitles in English and Dutch (German, Swedish and Danish to be added soon — credits to our volunteers!):

Part One about Oera Linda, in which some new information is revealed, not discussed earlier in interviews.

Part Two about Jan Ott, with more personal and 'unscientific' information.

I (JO) consider this recording the best thus far.
