Mysterious 150-year-old writing in rare copy of Homer's 'Odyssey'
identified -- ScienceDaily
The case of the mystery marginalia began when the University received a
donation of Homer's works from collector M.C. Lang in 2007. The collection
included a 1504 Venetian edition of the *Odyssey* containing handwritten
annotations in an unknown script. The annotations were thought to date back
to the mid-19th century, but nothing else was known about them.
In hopes of cracking the code, the Library's Special Collections Research
Center called on linguists, classicists and amateur sleuths, publicizing a
$1,000 prize offered by Lang to the first person to identify the script,
provide evidence to support the conclusion and execute a translation of
selected portions of the marginalia. The contest generated an enormous
online response and submissions from around the world.
