The book of spells/monsters

[Clessidor]

Does anyone have some screencaps of the book Jafar and RQ were reading? Just noticed that there was alchemist symbols in there and also thought that it uses also the same writing like the book Cora and Regina had. But I’m not sure about the last thing.

(Tried posting the direct URLs as well because the forum auto-shrinks the images a bit, but posting the direct link just re-posted the pic, even without image tags. GAH! If you right click the images you can copy and paste the direct link for each one into a browser tab if you wanna see them a little bit bigger.)

Oh thanks, Phee.
And here is the book of spells from OUAT.

So I was right. Both books are very similar. The text is latin and quotes from the Carmina Burana and Archpoet. Probably just filler text they use like they do it with “Snow White and Rose Red” and the “The golden Bird”.
We have alchemistic symbols again and that weard writing. I couldn’t find out what kind of alphabet that is. I’ve already looked under most known European alphabets.

But in general the illustrations are in the style of traditional grimoires and spellbooks. So there mustn’t be a big connection between them. Their are just both dark magic spell books.

Still neat to see the detail!

“If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn't. And contrary wise, what is, it wouldn't be. And what it wouldn't be, it would. You see?” -- Lewis Carroll, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland & Through the Looking-Glass
