Abstract
A newly emerged gilded folio metal book containing illustrations and unreadable character strings raises the question of authenticity. The article describes the object and examines on what grounds can be claimed with relative confidence that such a book is a forgery. The examination includes a structural analysis of the symbol sets and a comparison with similar, analogous metal books.
