What is Liber Linteus?
[[File:Lanena knjiga (Liber linteus Zagrebiensis).jpg|thumb|the Liber Linteus]] The '''Liber Linteus Zagrabiensis''' (or '''''Liber Agramensis''''') ([[Latin language|Latin]]: ''Linen Book of Zagreb'' or ''Book of [[Agram]]'') is the longest [[Etruscan language|Etruscan]] text and the only existing [[linen]] book. Most of the text has not been translated, because the Etruscan language is only known little. According to the few words that can be understood, the text is probably a [[ritual]] [[calendar]]. The fabric of the book was preserved when it was used to wrap a [[mummy]] from [[Ptolemaic Egypt]]. The mummy and the [[manuscript]] are now kept in a refrigerated room at the Archaeological Museum in [[Zagreb]], [[Croatia]]. ==Other websites== * [http://users.tpg.com.au/etr/etrusk/default.html ''The Etruscan Liber Linteus''] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081201092538/http://users.tpg.com.au/etr/etrusk/default.html |date=2008-12-01 }}; contains etexts of the book, proposed translations, and notes on [[haruspex|haruspicy]]. * [http://www.amz.hr/eng/page.asp?id=odjeli&sub=1&sub2=6&url=razne_kolekcije Information on the Liber Linteus from the Archaeological Museum in Zagreb] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070927230906/http://www.amz.hr/eng/page.asp?id=odjeli&sub=1&sub2=6&url=razne_kolekcije |date=2007-09-27 }} {{history-stub}} [[Category:Etruscan civilization]] [[Category:Zagreb]]
