So I just found this really old bible along with two little notebooks describing how to treat various aliments through prayers and indigenous ritual. The bigger one is an unfinished book of theology of an unknown author, it also got these weird scribbles, any one know what these are? By the way this stuff is from Canada, and the Bible dates from 1629.

It's shorthand.

French.

The rest are scribbles.

French and Gregg shorthand. I told you this over on int.

I'm sorry to break down the myth but this is modern French and this Bible isn't older than 1850, probably printed around 1910~1920. This annotation system is too recent, and French wasn't written in this way prior the 18th century.

I just found out its stenography, but I can't translate what is written.

You might be right, the first few pages are missing so I cant tell the year it was printed on. The guy who gave it to me said it dated from the 17th century. Too bad I thought I had found a gold mine. The little books are interesting though

Are you retarded? That one's in English.

I'm sorry but this is a modern print, and it has little value. You got scammed. I wouldn't buy it higher than 20$~50$. It's unfortunately way too common.

Found this in a page, you're probably right when you say it was printed around 1920. It's still pretty cool though and I didn't pay anything for it so it's fine

Throw these leaves before it stains the pages. It's nice if you didn't pay but it's not a great acquisition. If you already have a Bible (most French ones in circulation are also Segond editions so it doesn't make any difference in text), you better try to sell it. Overprice it to some careless poser and buy a more interesting book.
