John Byron notes that bibliobloggers have driven the lead codices story into the realm of the most popular stories<\/a>.

<\/a><\/div>\n

Nevertheless, it is fitting that there has been so much<\/a> blogging<\/a> about the lead codices<\/a>: Jazz appreciation month is obviously an appropriate time to be talking about fake books [cue rim shot].<\/p>\n

Jim Davila<\/a> and Tom Verenna<\/a> have roundups\/overviews.<\/p>\n

The biggest news about the lead books is that there are now extensive photos of them online<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Dan McClellan<\/a> via Mark Chan<\/a> (view in Google Chrome and then accept its offer to translate) believes he has found the bilingual inscription from which the forger copied the writing.\u00a0Steve Caruso isn\u2019t so sure but has issued a Nabatean Script Watch<\/a>.<\/p>\n

James Deitrick<\/a> believes the forger copied from the \u201cMona Lisa of Sepphoris.\u201d Other<\/a> possible<\/a> sources<\/a> have<\/a> also been proposed.<\/p>\n

If you find all this depressing, David Larsen has a list of authentic metal plates<\/a> to cheer you up.<\/p>\n
